Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) for Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structure

Abstract

This paper presents the results of strengthening of reinforced concrete structural members with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) for building has had Live Load by designer has designed from lacking control. Strengthening structure to support load weight according to requirement has been important. To evaluate the capacity of structures must have investigate data concern physical properties, structural details, structural material, non – destructive test, semi destructive test and analysis of stability for Building structures. From studying, it found structure strengthening system by CFRP system has become an appropriate choice for the current structural strengthening and CFRP has been able to increase efficiency in straightening structure well. For installing the CFRP system must be carried out by proficiently by specialists who understand the procedures. In addition, from strengthening structure, building should have had Live Load administration and management in building according to designer specifies after strengthening for safety in long term.
