Can FRP strengthening be interchangeable with steel plate?

Fiber reinfroced polymer(FRP) and steel plate reinforcement are all similar of bonding form and strengthening mechanism. Essentially, they are equivalent to increase the reinforcement of members, and they can replace each other in shear and flexural strengthening.

Why load is removed in the process of strengthening?

In order to make the new and old structure to bear force together, should first remove the original structure load before the reinforcement. It is a better way to reapply it after reinforcement.

Difference between pre-stress CFRP plate and carbon strip

The carbon fiber strip and prestressed CFRP plate are all carbon fiber strip in the final analysis. The difference between the two is from the different reinforcement methods they belong to.The reinforcement methods of carbon fiber cloth and carbon fiber strip are all passive reinforcement, and the prestressed CFRP plate is the active reinforcement.

Difference between FRP strengthening and traditional methods

Why is CFRP reinforcement more and more popular among engineers? it increase the structure's crack resistance or shear capacity, and improve the strength, rigidity, crack resistance and elongation of the structure.

Bridge cracks repair methods

Once the crack appears, it will affect the structural durability, will directly affect the bearing capacity of the structure, and even endanger the safety of the structure. It is worthy of attention and should ascertain the cause of cracks,we must take appropriate measures to repair.
