Shear Strengthening of Prestressed Concrete I-Girders: Using Externally Bonded Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Polymers

The innovative shear strengthening method using externally bonded CFRP reinforcement to strengthen prestressed concrete I-girders has been investigated in this thesis. These girders potentially have insufficient shear capacity because of the combination of thin webs and insufficient shear reinforcement. Shear failure of these girders should be...
