<b>Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) inserted in different configurations of the tensile zone retrofitting with microconcrete containing steel fibers to the strengthening of beams
Abstract:ABSTRACT. It is researched, in this study, the strengthening technique known as Near Surface Mounted (NSM), which consists of the insertion of laminates of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) into notches in the covering concrete structures. In the strengthening in beams, the tensile zone is found damaged for several reasons (cracking and corrosion, for instance), which demands, in the practice of engineering, its preliminary retrofitting. It should be considered that the good performance of the material us… Show more
