Reliability Assessment and Residual Life Estimation of Concrete Girder Bridges Strengthened by Carbon Fiber during the Service Stage by Haoyun Yuan, Wei Hou, Leping Ren, Xiaojin Zhao

“…In recent decades, carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) have been widely used to repair and maintain concrete structures around the world. Since the parameter uncertainties of load and resistance are very important for the reliability assessment of RC bridge strengthened by CFRP, this paper presents a method to estimate the reliability and residual life of RC bridges strengthened by CFRP. …”
