Flexural Strengthening of Continuous RC Beams Using HPFRCC Precast Laminates

In this study, the use of precast laminates, made of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (HPFRCC), was investigated for strengthening of continuous reinforced concrete (RC) beams. HPFRCCs are characterized by their high tensile strength and remarkable durability properties. To f...
