Chandan C Gowda Use of NSM FRP for torsional strengthening of thin walled tubular RC structures
Preliminary conclusions: • Increase in torsional moment of the section • Similar behavior of smaller and larger section • Pre-stress more effective in larger section – 400 x 400 section: Tcr = +48% – 800 x 800 section: Tcr = +70%
Next Steps: • Analyze results of 800*800*3600 beams • Experimental work – Casting more beams – Strengthening, testing, data analysis
• Final numerical analysis Contract Number MC-ITN-2013-607851
