Abstract
This paper deals with flexural performance of thin concrete members reinforced with continuous carbon fibers in the form of filament yarns. The laboratory specimens were tested under static loading conditions to investigate the effects of three different strengthening techniques on flexural stress, mid-span deflection and modes of failure. The specimens were strengthened in flexure using carbon fiber yarns as near-surface mounted, externally bonded and placed in the geometric center of the specimen, respectively. Based on this investigation, the advantages and shortcomings of individually strengthening technique can be drawn.
