Post-Tensioning Steel Rod System for Flexural Strengthening in Damaged Reinforced Concrete (RC) Beams

In this study, a post-tensioning method using externally unbonded steel rods was applied to pre-damaged reinforced concrete beams for flexural strengthening. Nine simply-supported beams, three reference beams and six post-tensioned beams, were subjected to three-point bending. The design parameters...
