Book Description
Four 76-year old T reinforced concrete beams were retrofitted with four different systems employing carbon fiber polymer reinforced (CFRP) composites to examine the success of FRP systems to strengthen aged members with substantial deterioration. The beams were removed from FAI-37-2899 and FAI-37-2915. The systems used in this project were (a) external post-tensioning system with CFRP rods, (b) bonded CFRP plates, (c) bonded CFRP fabrics, and (d) bonded CFRP plates with mechanical anchors at the ends of the plates. The experimental data were augmented with analytical results to better understand the observed behavior, particularly when visual data or the measured data were insufficient.

Book Description
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) plates and fabrics have emerged as viable systems for retrofitting of existing reinforced concrete members with insufficient capacity. The results from previous research, conducted predominately on newly cast laboratory specimens, have been used to develop design guidelines. Detailed testing and evaluation of aged members retrofitted with FRP systems are very limited. This research is conducted to fill this gap. A 45-year old, three-span reinforced concrete slab bridge with insufficient capacity was retrofitted with 76.2 and 127-mm wide CFRP plates, 102-mm wide bonded CFRP plates with mechanical anchors at the ends, and bonded CFRP fabrics. Using four systems in one bridge provided an opportunity to evaluate field installation issues, and long-term performance of each system under identical traffic and environmental conditions. Through controlled truckload tests, the response of the bridge before retrofitting, shortly after retrofitting, and after one year of service was measured. The FRP system's stiffness was small in comparison to the stiffness of the bridge deck, therefore the measured deflections did not noticeably change after retrofitting. The measured strains suggest participation of the FRP systems, and more importantly the strength of the retrofitted bridge was increased. Detailed three-dimensional finite element models of the original and retrofitted bridge was developed and calibrated based on the measured deflections. Those models were used to calculate the rating factors and the corresponding load limits, which increased by 22% after retrofitting. In view of the increased capacity and performance of the bridge, load limits were removed and normal traffic was resumed.

Book Description
The repair of deteriorated, damaged and substandard civil infrastructures has become one of the most important issues for the civil engineer worldwide. This important book discusses the use of externally-bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to strengthen, rehabilitate and retrofit civil engineering structures, covering such aspects as material behaviour, structural design and quality assurance. The first three chapters of the book review structurally-deficient civil engineering infrastructure, including concrete, metallic, masonry and timber structures. FRP composites used in rehabilitation and surface preparation of the component materials are also reviewed. The next four chapters deal with the design of FRP systems for the flexural and shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and the strengthening of RC columns. The following two chapters examine the strengthening of metallic and masonry structures with FRP composites. The last four chapters of the book are devoted to practical considerations in the flexural strengthening of beams with unstressed and prestressed FRP plates, durability of externally bonded FRP composite systems, quality assurance and control, maintenance, repair, and case studies. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Strengthening and rehabilitation of civil infrastructures using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is a valuable reference guide for engineers, scientists and technical personnel in civil and structural engineering working on the rehabilitation and strengthening of the civil infrastructure. Reviews the use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structurally damaged and sub-standard civil engineering structures Examines the role and benefits of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in different types of structures such as masonry and metallic strengthening Covers practical considerations including material behaviour, structural design and quality assurance
