Thermal protection of reinforced concrete columns strengthened by GFRP laminates (experimental and theoretical study)

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been used over the last decade in the form of laminates for strengthening reinforced concrete elements. Non-corrosive characteristics, high strength and good fatigue properties of FRP significantly increase the service life of structures. However, FRP have a neglig...
