Abstract:Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) to repair and strengthen the steel I-beam has been increasingly used since last decade. CFRP composites bonded to steel members offer many advantages over steel plate bonding including excellent corrosion resistance, high stiffness and high strength to weight ratios etc. This study numerically investigates the fatigue performance of CFRP strengthened steel I-beam. One non-strengthened control beam and several strengthened beams using steel plates and CFRP strips were inv… Show more
