The law of stress increment of unbonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons at service stage and flexural load bearing capacity limit state is unclear, so it is difficult to accurately calculate crack width, deflection and load bearing capacity. In order to calculate the stress of CFRP tendons, deformation compatibility condition and moment-curvature analysis method are used to compile nonlinear full-range analysis programs of simply supported concrete beam partially prestressed with unbonded CFRP tendons. The computing results of stress in CFRP tendons are in good agreement with the tested results as a whole, so it indicates that the simulation analysis programs are reliable.

This study investigates the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips as an alternative way of retrofitting steel I-beams. The flexural strength and maximum deflection of unstrengthened and CFRP-strengthened steel I-beams were compared. Three groups of samples were studied: the first group has CFRP strip installed on the tension flange of the steel I-beam; the second group has CFRP strips installed on the compression and tension flanges of the steel I-beam; and the third group comprises unstrengthened steel I-beams which serve as control specimens. All specimens were tested as simply supported beams under third-point loading. A reaction frame machine was used to apply the load while a dial indicator was used to measure deflections.

Concrete Beams can experience a sudden collapse when overload because of its brittle characteristic. The use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) on concrete beams externally as external confinement is predicted to improve concrete mechanics properties, increase the ductility and capacity of concrete, and the flexural strength of concrete beams. An experimental study on the reinforcement of concrete beams with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) was carried out to estimate the effectiveness of CFRP on concrete structures as a concrete beam flexural reinforcement material. Two types of concrete beams are provided in this study to test the flexural strengthening effect of the externally bound CFRP composite. First type of concrete beam used for testing is a normal concrete beams, whereas the second tested beam, the CFRP was laminated by coating the beams with Fiber. The dimensions of both types are 15cm x15cm with a length of 55cm footing range. Testing result obtained the compressive strength was 23,29 MPa, flexural strength of normal and CRFP concretes were 33,41 Kg/cm2 and 48,07 Kg/cm2 respectively. It was concluded that the use of CRFP at the concrete beam increases flexural strength up to 44% with the ratio of 143 %.
