Abstract
This study intended to measure the efficiency of different strengthening techniques to advance the flexural characteristics of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates, including externally bonded reinforcement (EBR), externally bonded reinforcement on grooves (EBROG), externally bonded reinforcement in grooves (EBRIG), and the near-surface mounted (NSM) system. A new NSM technique was also established using an anchorage rebar. Then, the effect of the NSM method with and without externally strengthening GFRP laminates was studied. Twelve RC beams (150 × 200 × 1500 mm) were manufactured and examined under a bending system. One specimen was designated as the control with no GFRP laminate. To perform the NSM method, both steel and GFRP rebars were used. In the experiments, capability, as well as the deformation and ductileness of specimens, were evaluated, and a comparison was made between the experimental consequences and existing standards. Finally, a new regression was generated to predict the final resistance of RC beams bound with various retrofitting techniques. The findings exhibited that the NSM technique, besides preserving the strengthening materials, could enhance the load-bearing capacity and ductileness of RC beams up to 42.3% more than the EBR, EBROG, and EBRIG performances.
