Flexural and shear strengthening of RC beams with composites materials : the influence of cutting steel stirrups to install CFRP strips

Experimental, numerical and analytical investigations have revealed that Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strips with larger cross section height improve the effectiveness of the Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique for the flexural strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) beams. How...
