Abstract

"A proper optimization of local materials to produce high-performance and high-strength concrete improves the long-term durability. CFRP strengthening and crack injection using epoxy based materials are excellent sources of rehabilitation techniques; however, harsh environmental conditions may cause stiffness loss. New advances in Microwave Technology and Acousto-Ultrasonic Technique were proven to be an effective means for the investigation of detection of surface defects between CFRP and concrete substrate"--Abstract, page iv.
