Keywords: bond characteristics; CFRP; CHSs; in-plane curved steel members; retrofitting In-plane curved steel beams with circular hollow sections (CHSs) are widely gaining appeal in bridges. Strengthening such elements for increased demand or decreased strength due to environmental effects or fatigue, without affecting the usage of structure, is a timely need. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials...Read More
