Fatigue Behaviour of Steel Girders Strengthened with Prestressed CFRP Strips
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-20)Steel bridges and structures often need strengthening due to increased live loads, or repair due to corrosion or fatigue cracking. This thesis explores the use of adhesively bonded prestressed carbon fibre reinforced ... -
Fatigue Bond Behaviour of Corroded Reinforcement and CFRP Confined Concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-13)Bond in a reinforced concrete (RC) structure is the interaction force that transfers force between the steel and concrete. It influences the structural performance and serviceability of a structure under both static and ... -
Flexural Behaviour of Partially Bonded CFRP Strengthened Concrete T-Beams
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Fibre-reinforced-polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used for the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Flexural strengthening methods with FRP include external bonding of FRP composites (EB ... -
Flexural Fatigue Behaviour of Corroded Pretensioned Beams and Their Repair Using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Sheets
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-24)The study presented in this thesis investigated the flexural fatigue behaviour of non-corroded and corroded pretensioned beams and examined the use of externally bonded Carbon Fibre Reinforcement Polymer (CFRP) sheets as ... -
Monotonic and Fatigue Flexural Behaviour of RC Beams Strengthened with Prestressed NSM CFRP Rods
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-11)The use of near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement is a recent and a promising technique for increasing the flexural capacity and the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) flexural ... -
Monotonic and Fatigue Performance of RC Beams Strengthened with Externally Post-Tensioned CFRP Tendons
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-04)External post-tensioning is an attractive technique for strengthening reinforced concrete structures because of its ability to actively control stresses and deflections, speed of installation, minimum interruption for the ... -
Numerical Analysis of Debonding Mechanisms of Externally Bonded FRP Reinforcement in RC Beams
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-16)There is an urgent need to develop economic and efficient methods to repair and strengthen existing reinforced concrete structures. This demand is motivated by several factors including the aging of concrete structures, ... -
Tensile-Flexural Behaviour of Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Prestressing Tendons Subjected to Harped Profiles
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-15)External post-tensioning can provide an effective structural reinforcement system for the design of new concrete structures and for the strengthening of existing structures. In most cases, the structural effectiveness of ...
