Abstract:Based on strengthened construction technology of lateral tensioning and anchoring carbonfibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) sheet with waveshapedgear, theoretic analysis is made for the losses by material relaxation of CFRP sheet and strengthened member , the losses by temperature changing and the losses by action between screw bolt in waveshapedteeth grip and strengthened member. And prestress loss tests of CFRP after lateral tension are employed for eight members in two types of experiments (four for steel beam pedestal and four for concrete Tbeams strengthening test). Based on test and analysis, a design value of total prestress loss is proposed for CFRP sheet lateral tensioned and anchored by waveshapedgear.
