Upgrading Torsional Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer
Abstract
An experimental investigation is conducted on the improvement of the torsional resistance of reinforced concrete beams using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) fabric. A total of 11 beams were tested. Three beams were designated as control specimens and eight beams were strengthened by FRP wrapping of different configuration and then tested. Both glass and carbon fibers were used in the torsional resistance upgrade. Different wrapping designs were …
