This manuscript reports a study of the capacity of polymer composites to increase flexural strength in concrete. The polymer composites reinforced with carbon fiber and bonded with epoxy adhesive were used in prismatic test specimens of mass concrete corresponding to two different morphologies. The aim was to simulate the restoration of deteriorating concrete agricultural structures in order to explore the viability of this alternative against replacing them. An increase was found in the strength of the elements tested, with a higher strength being observed in those test specimens presenting a modified geometry.

This paper presents the study to find retrofit effect in case of Near-Surface-Mounted Retrofit (NSMR) using Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Polymer (CFRP) plate targeting reinforcement concrete (RC) beam by comparing the previous Externally Bonded Retrofit (EBR) method through experimental analytical works. Three RC beam specimens were made and two of them were retrofitted with CFRP plate by using EBR and NSMR. Also Finite Element (FE) analysis was performed in order to simulate the structural behavior of the beams by considering the bond properties between concrete and CFRP. From the study, it was found that the beam retrofitted with EBR hada reduction of bond capacity in the joint while the beam retrofitted with NSMR had perfect bond capacity.

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are one of the most popular smart materials due to light weight and high elastic deformation capability. In this study, highly conductive carbon nanofibers paper (CNFP) was coated on the surface of SMP as a conductive layer for electro actuation of SMP. To overcome the drawback of low modulus and low strength of shape memory polymer (SMP), continuous carbon fiber reinforcement was also incorporated with SMP by autoclave processing. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) result showed over 600% increase of storage modulus of SMP by introducing carbon fiber reinforcement. Also, the shape recovery time of SMP has been reduced over 150%, while the recovery ratio of SMP has been improved to 99% by incorporating with carbon fiber reinforcement. Additionally, the mechanical property degradation of SMP composites has been investigated after different electro actuation cycles. After 50 actuation cycles, the decrease of flexural modulus of SMP composites is negligible (< 2%), and the ultimate flexural strength of SMP composites only decreased 25%. The SMP composite shows high strength and modulus, and good durability.
