  2. 1. Fibre reinforced polymers in civil engineering : flexural strengthening of concrete structures with prestressed near surface mounted CFRP rods

    Author : Håkan Nordin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Repair and/or upgrading of concrete structures with bonded steel or FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymers) materials or by use of external tendons have been used for some time. In most cases the bonded on FRP materials are unstressed. READ MORE

  4. 2. FRP shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams

    Author : Gabriel Sas; Giorgio Monti; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fiber reinforced polymers; shear; reinforced concrete; strengthening; model; comparison; literature review; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The shear failure mechanisms of flexural reinforced concrete (RC) members is highly complex; its precise details cannot be explained with simple analytical relationships, and are the topic of considerable scientific debate. The studies described and examined the three most used shear theories in the world – the fixed angle truss model (45°TM), the variable angle truss model (VAT), and modified compression field theory (MCFT).

  5. 3. Numerical analysis of concrete elements strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers

    Author : Joakim Lundqvist; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Due to the growing number of ageing reinforced concrete structures such as buildings and bridges, there is an increasing interest in condition assessment and strengthening methods. Deterioration processes and demands for higher loads contribute to this interest. READ MORE

  6. 4. Preliminary design and analysis of a pedestrian FRP bridge deck

    Author : Patrice Godonou; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The interest for Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) as an alternative building material is constantly increasing within the building construction sector worldwide. In order to allow for a commercial breakthrough of FRP based building structures, it is necessary to develop design methods that can readily be adopted by bridge engineers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanical anchorage of prestressed CFRP tendons : theory and tests

    Author : Anders Bennitz; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) are slowly becoming important materials to consider also for a structural engineer. They are light-weight, insensitive to corrosion and have highly modifiable mechanical properties. READ MORE
