The beam was repaired using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) pre-cured strips bonded to the beam soffit to augment the flexural capacity. This was the first use of FRP materials for structural retrofit in Hawaii. After the parking garage was demolished in 2000, the repaired beam and two control beams were recovered and tested in flexure in the University of Hawaii Structural Engineering Laboratory. The test results indicated that the CFRP retrofit significantly increased the flexural capacity of the beam while also increasing its flexural ductility.","PeriodicalId":354815,"journal":{"name":"SP-215: Field Applications of FRP Reinforcement: Case Studies","volume":"695 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131447536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FRP laminates are applied for strengthening reinforced concrete slabs or beams in flexure and shear as well as for confinement of reinforced concrete columns.

In the first application, carbon FRP (CFRP) laminates in the form of strips and sheets were applied to strengthen a public building suffering from differential settlement of the foundation. In a different application, CFRP laminates were used to upgrade a residential building to be used for commercial purpose.
