Environmental durability of a CFRP system for strengthening steel structures (2010, methodology): “Grit blasting is the preferred method of surface abrasion for preparation of metallic surfaces [7,8].”
Behaviour of FRP-jacketed circular steel tubes and cylindrical shells under axial compression (2007, background): “More recently, the use of FRP to strengthen metallic structures has also attracted a significant amount of attention [3], but this work has generally been limited to the strengthening of metallic beams by the bonding of FRP laminates.”
BEHAVIOUR OF FRP-TO-STEEL BONDED JOINTS (2005, background): “…has been conducted on the strengthening of concrete and masonry structures using FRP composites (Teng et al. 2002), the potential of externally bonded FRP composites in strengthening steel structures has been explored only to a very limited extent (Hollaway and Cadei 2003; Xia and Teng 2005).”
Bond characteristics between ultra high modulus CFRP laminates and steel (2012, background): “Limited research has been conducted on CFRP strengthening of metallic structures [2,13].”
