Most applications of fibre‐reinforced polymers (FRP) deal with externally bonded reinforcement as a means of repairing and strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structures or retrofitting RC structures in seismic regions. As internal reinforcement, FRP rebars or (more rarely) prestressing elements are used in special projects, combining material strength and durability characteristics. Over the last...
Several aged reinforced concrete (RC) structures need to be strengthened. A typical method is to subsequently add rebar into slots filled with bonding mortar. However, this kind of strengthening only acts for live loads, not for dead loads, if no prestressing or prior lifting is applied. To overcome this deficiency, a novel method is presented. It activates the postinstalled reinforcement for all...
