Near-surface mounted FRP reinforcement: An emerging technique for strengthening structures
Strengthening of structures with NSM (near surface mounted) FRP (fibre reinforced plastics) reinforcement is a technique that has attracted a considerable attention as a feasible and economic alternative to the technique of strengthening structures with externally bonded FRP reinforcement. The former technique is more advantageous for more efficient use of the FRP material due to a reduced risk of debonding failure and the better protection of the FRP material from external sources of damage. Research has been conducted on this emerging technique, particularly on the application of this technique in the strengthening of concrete structures. Provided is a detailed and critical review of existing research on the structural behaviour of concrete structures strengthened with NSM FRP reinforcement. Based on this review, the more urgent research needs have been outlined for NSM FRP strengthening of concrete structures. This is limited to the short-term structural behaviour of concrete structures strengthened with NSM FRP reinforcement, so the use of NSM FRP reinforcement for the strengthening of masonry and timber structures and long-term aspects have not been addressed. These additional aspects are equally important, and existing work on them is even more limited. This emerging strengthening technique poses many challenges as well as opportunities for the international research community.
