Environmental durability of reinforced concrete deck girders strengthened for shear with surface-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer

This research investigated the durability of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CRFP) used for shear strengthening reinforced concrete deck girders.  Large beams were used to avoid accounting for size effects in the data analysis.
