Abstract

Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) reinforcement has been used for flexural strengthening either as an externally bonded (EB) system in the form of FRP laminate (sheets, plates or strips) applied to the tension side of reinforced concrete (RC) members or as a near-surface mounted (NSM) system. The NSM system is composed of an FRP strip or bar embedded inside a pre-cut groove filled with epoxy. The groove is made into the concrete cover at the tension side of the RC member.
