Highly stressed carbon-fiber reinforced concrete members
Research on long-term behavior
A major part of the damages occurring at steel-reinforced concrete structures is caused by the corrosion of the steel reinforcement. Cost-intensive and time-consuming repair works or new replacement constructions are often required even before reaching the intended service life. For this reason, carbon-fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), which are in particular characterized by their high tensile strength and their resistance to chemical and physical influences, have been a subject of research for some time now. Despite the increased use of this reinforcement and the intensive research conducted...
