Description
This thesis evaluates the environmental durability and bond characteristics of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP)-strengthened steel structures. The findings of this research provide a valuable contribution to the knowledge of CFRP-steel strengthening systems which can be used to evaluate the durability performance of CFRP-steel strengthening systems. Various parameters which related to the durability of CFRP-steel strengthening systems were investigated and evaluated. The outcomes of this research will be beneficial to the structural engineers when designing and assessing CFRP-steel systems.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
