CFRP-Strengthening and Long-Term Performance of Fatigue Critical Welds of a Steel Box Girder
Empa’s research efforts in the 1990s provided evidence that a considerable increase of the fatigue strength of welded aluminum beams can be achieved by externally bonding pultruded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates using rubber-toughened epoxies over the fatigue-weak welding zone on t...
