Abstract

The FRPLongDur research project (reference no. POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016900) was financed by national funds through FCT and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) through the Competitiveness and Internationalization Operational Program (POCI), and Lisbon Regional Operational Program. This project had as participating institutions at the University of Minho and the National Civil Engineering Laboratory. It also had the participation of Empa - Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. FRPLongDur aimed at contributing to the knowledge on the long-term behavior and durability of reinforced concrete elements strengthened with CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers) laminates according to the EBR (Externally Bonded Reinforcement) and NSM (Near Surface Mounted) reinforcement techniques, under the effect of aging in real environments. The work involved: (i) an extended experimental program, with the creation of five experimental stations distributed throughout Portugal country, involving different environments (Elvas, Guimarães, Lisbon, Serra da Estrela and Viana do Castelo), where test specimens at three scales (material, connection and structure) were installed to evaluate its performance during the time; (ii) the development of numerical simulations, based on the results obtained in the monitoring carried out; and, (iii) making recommendations for the project. On the last 30th of October 2020, the seminar to conclude the FRPLongDur project took place in a Webinar mode, in which the main results were presented. The present eBook summarizes the presentations carried out.

Correia | Conclusions Short-term study All the four strengthening solutions led to higher ultimate load. From the non-prestressed solutions, the NSM technique allowed the strengthening goal (double the ultimate load) with the lowest amount of CFRP. Similar response was observed in both anchorage techniques. Yet, the metallic anchors composing the MA system prevented a premature failure. Prestress allowed a more efficient use of the materials: (i) achied the strengthening goal with lower amount of CFRP; and (ii) higher CFRP strains at failure. Short-term study All the four strengthening solutions led to higher ultimate load. From the non-prestressed solutions, the NSM technique allowed the strengthening goal (double the ultimate load) with the lowest amount of CFRP. Similar response was observed in both anchorage techniques.
