Experimental Study of the Effectiveness of Fibr Anchors Inserting into Concrete Cylinder Confined by Glass Fiber Reinforcing Polymer

In many countries, and especially in Cambodia, there are many old structures, such as buildings and bridges, which are long-lived and will continue to deteriorate due to problems related to reinforced concrete (RC). One way to be able to delay or even prevent debt default is by anchor FRP. The experimental study of the effectiveness…

Suitability of optimized truss model to predict the FRP contribution to shear resistance for externally bonded FRP strengthened RC beams without internal stirrups

Shortcoming in the current design guidelines on externally bonded FRP shear strengthened members has initiated a motivation to relook the whole shear design approach. It is understood that effective FRP strain models used in present design guidelines are basically calibrated from the experimental data based on the conservative and unrealistic 45-deg truss model.
