Near Surface Mounted Composites for Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams

Near Surface Mounted Composites for Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams

Existing structural components require strengthening after a certain period of time due to increases in service loads, errors in design, mechanical damage, and the need to extend the service period. Externally-bonded reinforcement (EBR) and near-surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement are two preferred...
