Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) material is increasingly being used for the repair of steel structures, mainly because of their superior mechanical properties. However, there is insufficient information on the environmental durability of CFRP-steel bond, especially in hygrothermal aging combined with sustained load. In this paper, 500 mm long І steel beam specimens reinforced with externally bonded wet-laid CFRP sheets are investigated. The specimens are subjected to a sustained four point flexural load of about 30% of initial ultimate load, placed into hygrothermal condition. The ultimate bear capacity and the failure characteristics of the CFRP and steel interface are studied after hydrothermal age and loading. The test results show that the coupled action of sustained load and hygrothermal aging reduces the bond strength of CFRP-steel, even for relatively short conditioning periods, and appears to significantly affect the failure characteristics of specimens.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are widely used all over the globe as a repair and strengthening material for concrete elements. This paper looks at comparison of numerous methods to rehabilitate concrete beams with the use of CFRP sheet strips. This research work consists of 4 under-reinforced, properly cured RCC beams under two point loading test. One beam was loaded till failure, which was considered the control beam for comparison. Other 3 beams were load till the appearance of initial crack, which normally occurred at third-quarters of failure load and then repaired with different ratios and design of CFRP sheet strips. Afterwards, the repaired beams were loaded again till failure and the results were compared with control beam. Deflections and ultimate load were noted for all concrete beams. It was found out the use of CFRP sheet strips did increase the maximum load bearing capacity of cracked beams, although their behavior was more brittle as compared with control beam.

This article describes the results of the development of a high thermal conductivity carbon fiber reinforced polymer based on carbon fiber from pitch and an ENPB matrix modified with a carbon powder of high thermal conductivity. Data of the technological scheme of production and the results of determining the physicomechanical and thermophysical characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced polymer are presented.
