This study investigates the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips as an alternative way of retrofitting steel I-beams. The flexural strength and maximum deflection of unstrengthened and CFRP-strengthened steel I-beams were compared. Three groups of samples were studied: the first group has CFRP strip installed on the tension flange of the steel I-beam; the second group has CFRP strips installed on the compression and tension flanges of the steel I-beam; and the third group comprises unstrengthened steel I-beams which serve as control specimens. All specimens were tested as simply supported beams under third-point loading. A reaction frame machine was used to apply the load while a dial indicator was used to measure deflections. |
