EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON THE RC BEAMS STRENGTHENED WITH NEAR-SURFACE MOUNTED CFRP PLATE

The test group experimented on the RC beams(the conventional beam, the strengthened beam with CFRP plate on the surface and three strengthened beams with Near-Surface Mounted with different adhesive materials) under static bends load.This paper analyzed the bearing capacity, load-deflection curve, load-strain curve and fracture shape of specimens.The test results shows that the strengthened beams with near-surface mounted CFRP plate can improve the bending strength and inhibit the crack growth.The bending strength and ductility of the strengthened beams with near-surface mounted CFRP plate bonded by cement mortar were good, and with evident economic advantage.
