Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Materials • This research examines FRP-repaired beams exposed to high temperature to investigate such an effect. • Repair or strengthening of damaged or virgin RC beams using EB FRP is much effective technology comparing to the traditional methods. • The behavior of this new technology wasn’t affected by high temperature (around 60ºc) which was equal to its adhesive (Tg) temperature.
