Abstract
This paper presents experimental studies on the ultimate capacity of steel plates strengthened by Carbon Fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). Some 40 plates are tested under uniaxial compression along its longitudinal direction. The effect of CFRP pasting, plate slenderness ratio and the boundary conditions are illustrated on the studies. The study shows that the steel plates strengthened by CFRP exhibited higher capacity in comparison to similar plates without CFRP. It also can be seen that multi-layers CFRP pasting were better than the single layer, pasting multi-direction is better than pasting uni-direction, pasting the transverse layer outside is better than pasting the longitudinal layer outside, and the effect of longitudinal layer was better than the transverse layer.
