Flexural strengthening of one-way reinforced concrete slabs using near surface-mounted BFRP bars by Omar Aljidda (17823488)

“…The experimental results demonstrated the remarkable efficacy of the NSM-BFRP bars in enhancing the flexural performance of the strengthened slabs, especially those with lower steel reinforcement ratios. Compared to the control slabs, the ultimate loads were increased by 51‐123% and 21‐44% for slabs with 0.48 and 0.95% steel reinforcement ratios, respectively, while the ductility indices were increased by 10‐53% and 29‐79%. …”
