Abstract
This paper deals with the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams by means of thin carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) plates. A simplified laminated plate model is used to describe the behaviour of three-layered plate in cylindrical bending which were subjected to third-point line loads. The upper bound theorem of limit analysis is used to approximate the ultimate load capacity for multi-layered plates and identify different collapse mechanisms. A reinforced concrete beam strengthened by CFRP is designed as a three-layered plate. Experimental results are obtained and a comparison with theoretical predictions made.
