Flexural strengthening of RC beams with NSM technique by vertical and inclined orientation of CFRP laminate

Abstract Retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with FRP materials addresses issues of structural deterioration, offering a robust alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. This study experimentally investigates the flexural strengthening of RC beams using near-surf...

Synergistic experimental and ANN-based prediction of mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced high-strength concrete

This research focuses on how basalt macrofibers and microfibres affect the durability and Mechanical properties of M60 high-strength concrete. Compressive, split tensile, flexural strength, and acid resistance tests were employed to assess the performance of fiber-reinforced conc...
