FRP composites for seismic retrofitting of RC wall panels with cut-out openings

Local and Non Local Approaches for Simulating CFR Preinforced Concrete Shear Walls Under Monotonic Loads

“…In the last decade, composite materials (carbon or glass fibers associated with polymeric matrices CFRP) applied to RC elements by bonding are proved to be effective for the protection and reinforcement of beams and columns. Recent research on reinforced concrete walls strengthened with FRP composites were conducted by Ferrier [8], Antoniades et al [9,10], Demeter et al [11], Dan [12] , El-Sokkary [13], showed the ability to restore the initial performance of the structural members by repairing and strengthening.…”
