Abstract Strain hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) beam externally bonded with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plate was examined under three-point flexural test. The effects of the type of substrate used (plain cement mortar vs. SHCC), the use or not of a FRP plate to strengthen the SHCC beam, and the thickness of the FRP plate on the flexural performances were studied. Results show that the ultimate load of SHCC beams strengthened with FRP plate has improved greatly in comparison with plain SHCC beams. The deformation capacity of beams makes little change with an increase in the thickness of… More >
