Assessment and improvement of capacity of concrete members: a case for in-situ load testing and composite materials
Abstract
"This dissertation investigates the implementation of in-situ load testing of concrete structures to validate existing load test procedures, and the use of emerging materials to upgrade structural deficient concrete members. It consists of six technical papers that cover these two closely related topics...The findings of this dissertation concluded that there is a high potential for the development of new field evaluation techniques based on scientific criteria that can allow engineers to rationally assess the capacity of an existing structure. Similarly, emerging materials, such as FRP and SRP, can provide practitioners with effective solutions to upgrade weakened concrete members"--Abstract, page iv.
