Description
Summary:This study summarizes recent research on near-surface mounted (NSM) technique to strengthen RC (Reinforced Concrete) beams to enhance its shear capacityby using fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). This technique falls under the category of fibre based materials. Because of the advantages in terms of simplicity of installation, increased stiffness, strength and durability, FRP composites are gaining popularity across the globe. This paper provides an outline of the near-surface mounting (NSM) techniques to strengthen existing structures and review on current methods adopted for the NSM-FRP technique. This technique provides a remarkable improvement in load carrying capacity during its service, along with increased stiffness after concrete failure.
