“…Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been increasingly used in the strengthening of engineering structures due to their advantages of high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance, light weight, and flexibility in shape [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Studies have validated that the application of FRP composites can improve the flexural capacity [8,9], stiffness [10], fatigue performance [11,12,13], and corrosion resistance [14] of structures. FRPs are also very attractive in shear strengthening and confinement [15,16].…”
