Review of Concrete Structures Strengthened with FRP Against (2016, methodology): “In the NSM method, grooves are first cut into the concrete cover of a RC beam and the FRP reinforcement is bonded in the grooves [54].”
An experimental study of different factors affecting the bond of NSM FRP bars in concrete (2013, positive): “There are two interfaces in this technique, the bar–epoxy and the concrete–epoxy, in which the bond is affected by factors which include FRP properties, FRP surface treatment, bar size, groove surface, groove geometry, and adhesive, test setup and concrete properties [8].”
A review on the bond behavior of FRP NSM systems in concrete (2015, background): “The most recent comprehensive review on the NSM tec hnique was published in 2007 [6].”
