The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP (2011)
Thesis
Al-Juboori, W. The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

A recent innovation for the shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is to externally bond Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite plates or strips. This technique has become popular because of the many... Read More about The shear behaviour of concrete beams strengthened with CFRP.

The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges (2003)
Thesis
Tao, H. The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges (OSBMAB) was studied through model tests and finite element simulations. One three-metre and two five-metre span, full scale OSBMAB were constructed and tested to destruction. Two `partia... Read More about The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges.

The behaviour of brickwork arches subjected to cyclic loading (2002)
Thesis
Alnuaimi, M. The behaviour of brickwork arches subjected to cyclic loading. (Thesis). University of Salford

There are over 40,000 road bridges in the UK and most of them are over a hundred years old. These bridges were not designed to carry today's modern traffic and the everincreasing live loads especially with the introduction of 40 tonne lorries since J...
