Assessment of the effectiveness of prestressed NSM CFRP laminates for the flexural strengthening of RC beams

The flexural behavior of RC beams strengthened with prestressed near-surface-mounted (NSM) carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer (CFRP) laminate was investigated in this paper. For this purpose, four RC beams were tested under monotonic four-point loading. One beam was kept un-strengthened, as a control b...
