A study of the bond and flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete elements strengthened with near surface mounted (NSM) FRP reinforcement

The main objective of the thesis is to study the bond behaviour of NSM FRP reinforcement in concrete elements. With this aim an extensive program of experimental tests complemented with numerical analysis has been performed to study the effect of the variables affecting this technique. In the first...

Sumario:The main objective of the thesis is to study the bond behaviour of NSM FRP reinforcement in concrete elements. With this aim an extensive program of experimental tests complemented with numerical analysis has been performed to study the effect of the variables affecting this technique. In the first part of this thesis the modified pull-out test is carried out. A Finite Element Analysis (using the program FEMIX V.4) was used to perform several trials to fit as much as possible (inverse analysis) the force versus loaded end slip responses obtained experimentally in direct pullout tests. In the second part of this thesis an experimental program of flexural tests on RC beams strengthened with NSM FRP has been carried out to study the effect on the flexural behaviour of some of the previous variables studied in the first part
