Abstract

"The presentation dissertation compiling the results of the research performed on two research projects related to the uses of FRP materials on the strengthening RC bridges structures. The work of the first project "Validation of FRP composite Technology Through Field Testing" focus on field validation of five variances of FRP techniques for strengthening of concrete bridges. Fundamental issues related to bridge strengthening with composites are identified and studied, in particular those associated to analyzes" is and design, construction, lead testing, load rating and monitoring. Comprehensive documents were developed to make the technology of composite available to bridges owners...The work of the second project is focuses on numerical and experimental work to discuss if moment redistribution can be neglected in Reinforced Concreted (RC) flexural slabs strengthened with externally-bonded carbon FRP systems"--Introduction, page 1.
