A Study on the Flexural Behavior of RC Slabs with Externally Bonded Aramid Fiber Sheets

AFRT로 보강된 철근콘크리트 슬래브의 휨거동에 관한 연구

The reinforced concrete slabs with epoxy-bonded AFRT sheets were experimentally investigated. Experimental data on strength, stiffness, steel strain, deflection and mode of failure of strengthened slabs were obtained, and comparisons between the different flexural reinforcing schemes and reinforced concrete slabs without AFRT sheets were made. The result generally indicate that the flexural strength, ductile behavior of strengthened slabs increased.
