The behaviour of bridge columns strengthened using carbon fibre–reinforced polymer composites has been studied extensively. However, few investigations have been conducted regarding the influence of carbon fibre–reinforced polymer-strengthened columns on the seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete continuous girder bridges. This article details the hybrid simulations of a continuous reinforced concrete girder bridge whose columns are strengthened by carbon fibre–reinforced polymer jackets. In the hybrid simulations, one ductile column is selected as the experimental element, which is represented by a 1/2.5-scale specimen, and the remaining bridge parts are simultaneously modelled in OpenSees (the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation). After combining the experimental element and the numerical substructure, the hybrid analysis model is developed with the established hybrid simulation system. The displacements of the bridge and the lateral force–displacement response of the experimental element in hybrid simulation are obtained. Compared with the results of numerical simulation, the stability and accuracy of the established hybrid simulation system are demonstrated. Meanwhile, the comparative hybrid simulation results of the as-built bridge and the carbon fibre–reinforced polymer-strengthened bridge also prove the effectiveness of the carbon fibre–reinforced polymer jackets’ confinement in the continuous reinforced concrete girder bridge.

This study investigates the acoustic emission signals of concrete slab strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) under pull-off test. Three types of surface preparations were prepared namely without surface preparation, normal surface preparation and boring surface preparation. The slabs were then tested under pull-off test in conjunction with acoustic emission technique. The pull-off strength, acoustic signal strength, amplitude, duration and rise time were analysed and discussed. It was found that the boring surface preparation produced the highest pull-off strength compared to other surface preparations, indicating good bonding between the CFRP and the concrete interface. This study is useful in identifying the bonding between CFRP and concrete using acoustic emission technique.
