Flexural Reinforcement of RC Beams with Pultruded Carbon and Glass Fiber Strip

탄소 및 유리섬유 풀트루션 스트립을 이용한 RC보의 휨보강 연구

In recent years, FRP plates have been studied for flexural reinforcement of RC structures due to easy installation and good quality control. This study presents experimental results for the effectiveness of flexural reinforcement of the RC beams using thin CFRP and GFRP stripe made by the pultrusion process. For the selected FRP strips of various thicknesses and widths, it was demonstrated that both flexural strength and ductility were considerably increased with relatively easy installation when compared to the other methods used for the composite reinforcement.
