Abstract:The strengthening of reinforced concrete members with prestressed fibre-reinforced polymer laminates has been investigated by researchers due to major improvements in member serviceability characteristics. Currently, analytical models generally employ mostly empirical procedures in predicting member behaviour, and as a result, the analytical results exhibit poor correlation to experimental investigations. In this article, an analytical model is developed using new and existing theoretical techniques to critica… Show more
