Carbon fibre reinforced polymer as material for structural strengthening / Dr Ruqayyah Ismail and Hazrina Ahmad

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer as material for structural strengthening material, CFRP always triggers environmental and sustainable issues due to its hazardous manufacturing and disposal process. By using lesser CFRP with partial confinement, the use of CFRP could be reduced. Optimum mechanism of the installation with various CFRP strips spacing from this research work has managed to conclude sufficient contribution to the design of partial CFRP confinement for structural strengthening application. By proposing the most suitable stress-strain model of partial CFRP confinement will assist other engineers in applying it in the structural strengthening works.
