Load-bearing capacity of flexural reinforced concrete members strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer in fracture stage

The article examines the behavior of flexural reinforced concrete members, strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP), under the ultimate loading conditions (in fracture stage). One of the main problems of such elements is sudden and brittle failure mode caused by FRP debonding. The method fo...
