Using Limpet pull-off test for concrete strength prediction has now been accepted in standards of the UK, North America, Holland and some other countries. For its application in China, pull-off tests were carried out by using the Limpet in this study. Concrete specimens with four different mixtures and strength classes were cast, representing the normal and the ...
A total of 16 half scale beams were tested to study the flexural and shear responses of strengthened RC beams. The CFRP rebars were manufactured at structural testing centre using locally developed twisting equipment to strengthen the RC beams. Also, new anchor system was locally developed to predict the tensile characteristics of CFRP bars using ...
