“…To date, the use of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) to upgrade metallic structures has concentrated on strengthening beams in buildings or bridges and many case studies have been reported by Miller et al, 4 Hollaway and Cadei, 5 Luke and Canning 6 and Dodds. 7 For other applications, Moy et al 8 reported that CFRP plates were chosen to upgrade cast iron beams by bonding onto the tensile flanges in the London underground systems.…”

The strengthening of metallic beams with a bonded carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plate has found many applications in bridge and building structures in recent years. The structural behaviour of the adhesive bonding in this technique is the most distinct element to be considered. In this paper, previous analytical, experimental and numerical studies under static and fatigue loadings by the present authors are reviewed. An S–N curve based on the peak interfacial stresses is proposed to predict the fatigue life to crack initiation of the retrofitted beams. An equation to predict the fatigue life during the crack propagation has also been developed. Finally, the geometric effects of the spew fillet and of the taper at the plate end of the retrofitted beam are discussed. In the conclusion, design recommendations for steel beams strengthened by bonded CFRP plates are detailed based on the findings obtained from the studies presented.

The use of advanced polymer composite (APC) materials to upgrade and to rehabilitate metallic structures offers an attractive solution for short-term retrofits and long-term rehabilitation. The basic principles of plate bonding metallic structures are similar to those used for the plate bonding of reinforced concrete (RC) structural units, but metallic adherends pose a different and a more difficult set of problems from those for RC systems.This paper reviews the problems encountered in plate bonding onto metallic structures and discusses how these problems might be overcome. Initially, the paper investigates some of the in-service problems associated with APC and metallic adherends and reviews their solutions. The weakest link in the bonded joint is the adhesive, and a review of the various solutions is included. Another potential area for concern is the durability of the APC and adhesive and a review of this area has been undertaken. The degradation of metallic structures has been covered in the literature, and consequently, this area is not covered. To date, few upgradings of metallic structures with APC plates, have been undertaken and generally these have not been published, therefore, a review of the practical applications of this technique to metallic structures is included, discussing some case histories.
