Crack-arresting and Strengthening Mechanism of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets in Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams

The failure process of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is exactly the emergence and propagation process of cracks. According to the principles of Fracture Mechanics, if the cracks were retarded in RC beams, the structure performance would be improved. In this paper, hybrid fiber reinforced polymer...
