Also presented are summaries of the research work conducted by testing scale models to simulate the behavior of the girder and the deck slab.","PeriodicalId":354815,"journal":{"name":"SP-215: Field Applications of FRP Reinforcement: Case Studies","volume":"34 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":"124415875","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}

The cathedral is one of the most important neo classic monuments of Peru. This paper discusses the rehabilitation and repairing of the cathedral. Because of their light weight, tensile strength and ease of installation, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites were chosen for the project. Described is the reinforcing strategy of the masonry right tower of the cathedral with carbon FRP laminates, used to provide tensile strength and confinement to the central core of the tower. After completing the CFRP installation, carved stone were placed on top of the laminates to keep the original appearance.","PeriodicalId":354815,"journal":{"name":"SP-215: Field Applications of FRP Reinforcement: Case Studies","volume":"45 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":"132163894","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}

The tapered cylindrical columns have a nominal height of 8 m and contain an opening above the foundation to allow for the insertion of the lamp fuse box. The bending/torsion behaviour of a total of five full-scale prototype columns was tested in accordance with the relevant European standards (EN). In the experimental programme, the location of the fuse box opening relative to the loading direction was varied. All five poles fulfilled the EN serviceability and ultimate limit state requirements for lighting columns in pedestrian and/or low speed lightly trafficked areas. This successful outcome has lead to the first field application of the CFRP prestressed concrete lighting columns.","PeriodicalId":354815,"journal":{"name":"SP-215: Field Applications of FRP Reinforcement: Case Studies","volume":"9 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":"125061142","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}
