Strengthening reinforced concrete structure using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) / Mahathir Mahmad Akhir

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer, CFRP, is being increasingly used for strengthening the existing concrete structures, the material has been extensively tried in concrete beams for enhancement in flexure, and in shear. In masonry structures, attempts have been made to strengthen shear walls. This dis...
