Assessing the effectiveness of embedding CFRP laminates in the near surface for structural strengthening

The Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique is a recent strengthening strategy, using Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) systems, that is being developed to increase the bending and the shear resistance of structural elements. To assess the effectiveness of the NSM technique, an experimental program is ca...
