Experimentally observed behaviour of CFRP sheet strengthening across a shear plane
Description | Present systems to strengthen concrete structures in shear using FRP sheet are ineffective, but deep embedment works. |
Exploitation Route | We have shown that deep embedment of FRP bars in concrete is a viable (and indeed the only effective) strengthening technique for T beams in shear. |

Description | Our steering committee members from industry have already used the results from this research in informing their decisions regarding strengthening of existing concrete structures. Our research has demonstrated that existing guidelines are flawed under specific conditions (which are rather prevalent, in fact), and this has focused the minds of our partners. Dissemination of this work to an international audience is underway. |
