The effect of surface preparation on bonding performances of beam strengthened with GFRP plate / Nurul Farraheeda Abdul Rahman

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) have been increasingly used over the past few decades in a variety of structures and have become a popular alternative in construction world. It is one of the effective techniques for strengthening and repairing the reinforced concrete (RC) beams under flexural loa...
