“…CFRP sheets are also used to repair damaged RC elements under torsion. After tests were made 56 , it was shown that the torsional capacity of columns was larger than the original torsional strength, after they were repaired with CFRP A sw,min = minimum area of transverse torsion reinforcement, A t = area of one leg of a closed stirrup resisting torsion, A t,min = minimum area of transverse reinforcement for torsion, A v = required area of shear reinforcement. Required area of two legs of a closed stirrup for shear, A v,min = minimum transverse reinforcement for shear force, E p = modulus of elasticity of prestressing tendons , E s = modulus of elasticity of non-prestressed reinforcement, F cr = absolute value of the tensile force within the flange immediately prior to cracking due to the cracking moment calculated with f ct,eff , F p = the prestressing force, G = shear modulus, K = the effective length factor for compression members , M f = moment due to factored loads , M p,ind = secondary moment caused by prestressing, M u = factored applied moment, M Ed = design bending moment, M Ed0 = bending moment without the effect of prestressing, N Ed = axial force at the serviceability limit state acting on the part of the cross -section under consideration (compressive force positive), resulting from the characteristic values of prestress and axial forces under the relevant load combinations , N Ed,MC = applied axial force, positive for tension and negative for compression , N Ed0…”
