Abstract

A numerical simulation of long-term behaviour of concrete structures retrofitted with externally-bonded continuous fibre sheet is presented. Continuous fibre sheet can improve not only mechanical performance of an existing concrete structure but also its durability. The effectiveness of continuous fibre sheet as a surface insulator was quantified by laboratory tests. Based on this, case studies of numerical service-life simulation of concrete structures with continuous fibre sheet under corrosive environment are demonstrated. The results imply that continuous fibre sheet can extend service-life of concrete structures.
