Flexural Strengthening of RC Slabs with Prestressed CFRP Strips Using Different Anchorage Systems

Flexural Strengthening of RC Slabs with Prestressed CFRP Strips Using Different Anchorage Systems

Externally Bonded Reinforcement (EBR) technique has been widely used for flexural strengthening of concrete structures by using carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP). EBR technique offers several structural advantages when the CFRP material is prestressed. This paper presents an experimental and n...
