Design Procedures for the Use of Composites in Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Part of the book series: RILEM State-of-the-Art Reports ((RILEM State Art Reports,volume 19))

Abstract

This chapter gives an overview on the state-of-the-art about verifications of reinforced concrete structures using Externally Bonded (EB) Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) under particular loading condition. Focus is mainly put on flexural strengthening, nowadays the most common application field for composite materials in structural engineering. The items discussed in this chapter are:

  • Serviceability limit states;

  • Fatigue behaviour;

  • Effects of fire and high temperature;

  • Long term behaviour;

  • Anchoring systems;

  • Mechanically Fastened Systems.
