Dynamic Behavior of PET FRP and Its Preliminary Application in Impact Strengthening of Concrete Columns

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber has attracted significant attention for reinforced concrete (RC) structure rehabilitation due to its large rupture strain (LRS; more than 7%) characteristic and recyclability from waste plastic bottles. This study presents a dynamic tensile test of PET fiber bu...
