... Structural reliability analysis takes the uncertainties in concrete, steel and FRP material strengths and stiffnesses into account using rational statistical models of these key engineering parameters. The criteria for checking safety and serviceability of structural members and components that have been strengthened with externally bonded FRP reinforcement are based on a target reliability index, , equal to 3.5 under inventory loading, which was the target value assumed in the development of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.

... The strength in flexure of a reinforced concrete member that has been additionally reinforced by an externally bonded FRP plate is derived from the classic Bernoulli-Navier hypothesis that plane sections remain plane and perpendicular to the neutral axis during flexure. The stresses on the section can be determined from the constitutive relations for the concrete, reinforcing steel and FRP reinforcement, and the flexural strength at any section is determined from requirements for axial force and moment equilibrium at that section.

This format ensures that when the FRP reinforcement is slight, the design strength approaches that of a flexural member without FRP reinforcement.

... However, it is norm ally more practical to attach the external FRP reinforcem ent with the principal fiber direction perpendicular to the me mb er axis. Experim ental and analytical investigations of the behavior of reinforced concrete me mb ers strengthened in shear have revealed the following failure m odes: 1 - Steel yielding followed by FRP debonding 2 - Steel yielding followed by FRP fracture 3 - FRP debonding before steel yielding 4 - Diagonal concrete crushing Depending on the amount of usable steel shear reinforcement in the structural element, FRP debonding can occur either before or after steel yielding.

In view of the limited available test data, on FRP reinforcement with mechanical anchorage systems, it is recommended that if the anchorage is engineered, the strength can be fully developed and ka = 1; otherwise, its strength contribution is unknown.

... The principles applied to strengthening in shear are also valid, for the most part, for the case of torsion.

... In reinforced concrete construction, the crack faces are irregular and this slip is accompanied by separation of the crack faces. The slip movement and irregularities on the crack face introduce tension in the reinforcement that crosses the crack, and causes a clamping force to be developed normal to the crack.
From page 63...
... The contribution of the FRP reinforcement is included in the clamping force that appears in the expression for Vni, rather than additive to the factored shear strength. Similarly, the resistance factor for contribution of the FRP reinforcement is embedded in the clamping force.
From page 64...
... The clamping forces in Articles 4.5.3.2 and 4.5.3.3 have been modified to account for the presence of FRP reinforcement crossing the crack. To preserve the familiar format of the factored resistance, the resistance factor, frp , is included in the expression for the clamping force 4.5.3.2 – Where shear-friction reinforcement is inclined to the shear plane, such that the shear force produces tension in shear-friction reinforcement, Vni shall be computed by: sin cosniV C (4.5.3.2-1)

... C5.4.3 Provisions in Article 5.4 are limited to members subjected to combined axial loading and bending where failures occur by concrete crushing in compression rather than reinforcement yielding in tension. If the eccentricity of axial force present in the member is greater than 0.10h for the spirally reinforced columns or 0.05h for tied columns, strengthening requires externally bonded FRP reinforcement to withstand force in the longitudinal direction of the columnin addition to its perimeter.
