Flexural strengthening of beams using post-tensioned metal straps fully wrapped around steel channels anchored to normal steel reinforced concrete beams.

The efficacy of post-tensioned metal straps PTMS, wrapped around steel channels anchored to normal reinforced concrete (R.C) beams is tested in increasing the flexural capacity of the beams. For this purpose, nine normal R.C beams with dimensions of 160 mm x 240 mm x 2100 mm are constructed to fail...
