Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets: Experimental Studies
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The performance of flexural supported and conventional RC beams that have been experimentally tested under static load are examined. Five beam specimens total are cast and tested; one remained as a control beam, whereas the other four were soffits retrofitted with Hybrid-FRP (HFRP) composite sheets/laminates, which are the combination of Aramid-FRP (AFRP) and Glass-FRP (GFRP). The maximum load-carrying capability obtained for the SH3 beam is 137.28% more than the control beam.
