Based on the tests of six reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) sheets and one reference slab without the sheet, the influences of factors such as type of FRP sheets (CFRP and GFRP), amount of FRP sheets and strengthening scheme upon the crack resistant performance were presented and discussed in this paper. In the end, a calculation method was put forward, which can be used to calculate cracking moment and crack width in reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with FRP sheets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
