Recently, laminates of multi-directional carbon fiber reinforced polymers (MDL-CFRP) have been developed for Civil Engineering applications. A MDL-CFRP laminate has fibers in distinct directions that can be arranged in order to optimize stiffness and/or strength requisites. These laminates can be conceived in order to be fixed to structural elements with anchors, resulting high effective strengthening systems. To evaluate the strengthening potentialities of this type of laminates, pullout tests were carried out. The influence of the number of anchors, their geometric location and the applied pre-stress are analyzed. The present work describes the carried-out tests and presents and analyzes the most significant obtained results.

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) can be used as independent structural elements due to its high loading capacity and proper to product light weight and thin walled structural elements. In this study, the bending behavior of TRC plates that reinforced with dry carbon fiber textile and exposed to high temperatures was experimentally studied under 4-points bending loading. The examined parameters were; (a) number of textile fiber reinforcements layers 1, 2 and 3 layers; (b) level of high temperatures 20°C, 200°C, 300°C, and 400°C. Firstly, the mechanical properties of the cementitious matrix and the tensile properties of TRC coupons at each predefined temperature were evaluated. The results showed that the ultimate tensile stress of the TRC coupons did not affect up to 200°C, however, a significant reduction observed at 300°C and 400°C by 19% and 24% respectively. Regarding the compressive strength and flexural strength of the cementitious matrix, the degradation was not severe until 200°C, while it became critical at 400 °C (23% and 22% respectively). The result of the bending of TRC plates showed that doubling and tripling textile fiber reinforcements layers improved the flexural loading. In general, increasing the level of temperatures resulted in decrease in the flexural capacity of TRC plates. The highest decrease recorded for the specimen reinforced with 1-layer of carbon fiber textile subjected to 400 °C and was 33%.

Reinforced concrete elements of structures in the form of columns, beams, ceilings are widely used in the construction of buildings and structures of industrial and civil construction. In most cases, the columns serve as supports for other building elements, for example, crossbars, slabs, girders, beams. One of the cycles of the work of reinforced concrete structures is the state of their repair and reconstruction, including the stages of strengthening the elements. There is a problem of strengthening of reinforced concrete columns. The article deals with the issue of reinforcing columns and other structural elements having a cylindrical surface, with polymeric composite materials in the form of carbon fiber lamellae. The use of composite materials allows to increase the service life and strength of reinforced concrete structures used in construction.

The use of prefabricated mini silo structures enables us to build containers for grain or animal feed and to transport the structural elements to the installation site. Traditional types of strengthening of concrete structures are steel and concrete cages. Polymer materials are widely used in construction. The methods of strengthening modern materials, such as lamellae, are being increasingly used. The issue of strengthening the structures with composite polymer materials is relevant.

Due to the widespread use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials (PCM) in the structural elements of aircraft with a distributed surface layer of lightning-proof coating (MFP) in the form of metal grids to reduce the risk of lightning strikes and the possibility of increasing their strength characteristics by processing in the microwave electromagnetic field, the need to study the impact of this method of processing on the resistance of PCM to high voltage electrical discharges. The studies of the impact of the discharge voltage 180…200 kV on samples of PCM with the minimum wage and no minimum wage. It is established that pretreatment of samples of the cured polymer composite MW in a microwave electromagnetic field energy flux density (17…18)104 µw/cm2 does not degrade their molniezaschita characteristics and contributes to reducing the size of the damaged area up to 1.5 times. Samples processed in the microwave electromagnetic field without MSP do not have delaminations and burns in contrast to the control ones. The obtained results indicate the possibility of strengthening treatment in the microwave electromagnetic field of structural elements of carbon fiber distributed in the surface layer of the MSP in the form of a metal grid.
