Improved numerical analysis of structures reinforced by composite FRP: Hygrothermal and prestressing loads with taper effect
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are becoming suitable and substantial materials in repairing and replacing conventional metallic materials because of their high strength and stiffness. Steel beams can be strengthened in flexure using bonded FRP or using steel plates. In such plated beams,...
