2. 1. Analysis of geometrically modified adhesive joints in steel beams strengthened with composite laminates

   Author : Reza Haghani Dogaheh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; FE analysis; Stress concentration; Fillet; Laminate; Reverse tapering; Normal tapering; Adhesive joint; FRP;

   Abstract : The use of bonded FRP laminates to strengthen and upgrade existing structures has attracted a great deal of attention during the past two decades. The attractiveness of this method is mainly due to the superior material properties of FRP laminates such as high strength and stiffness, as well as advantages associated with the bonding technique, such as ease of application and good fatigue performance.

4. 2. Fatigue Behaviour of RC beams Strengthened with CFRP : Analytical and Experimental investigations

   Author : Mohammed Mahal; Pilate Moyo; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Repeated cyclic loading of reinforced concrete (RC) structures such as bridges can cause reduced service life and structure failure due to fatigue even when the stress ranges applied to the structural components are very low. These problems can be mitigated by using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to increase the structures’ load carrying capacity and fatigue life or service life. READ MORE
