be circular or rectangular or strips made by pultrusion or fabrics made with fibres in one or at least two different directions used in externally bonding wet lay-up technology. The fibrous phase of these reinforcements is composed of carbon(C), glass(G) and aramid(A) while in most cases matrix phase fibres are held together by epoxy. High strength adhesives can be used to bind FRP materials to the exterior of concrete structures. FRP reinforcements can also be inserted into grooves cut into concrete cover of RC element by a technique called Near Surface Mounting(NSM) FRP. FRP reinforcements are bonded therein with appropriate grove filler (epoxy paste or cement grout).

The use of Near Surface Mounted FRP reinforcement for increasing flexural and shear strength of deficient reinforced and pre-stressed (RC and PC) members (Alkhrdaji et al. 1999, De Lorenzis et al. 2000) as well as strengthening unreinforced masonry walls (Tumialan et al. 2001) has gained popularity in recent decades. The various advantages compared to externally bonded FRP laminates include but not limited to the possibility of anchoring reinforcement into adjacent members, upgrading elements in their negative moment region with reinforcement not exposed to potential mechanical damage typical to floor or deck systems (Nanni et al. 1999). NSM FRP technique minimises surface preparation work. Since the use of primer and putty is not necessary the installation time after groove cutting is also minimised when compared to externally bonded FRP laminates. NSM reinforcement also finds application in seismic retrofitting of RC column-beam joints to either provide additional strength or ductility when moving the failure zone from column to beam (Prota et al. 2001). The aesthetics of the strengthened structure is virtually unchanged. Because of these advantages NSM FRP method is in many cases superior to externally bonded FRP method or used in combination with it. Researchers across the globe have become aware of the practical advantages of this method resulting in boom in research in this area. Against this background this paper provides a comprehensive review of existing research in this area, gaps in knowledge and outlines for further future research.

2. HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY Early 1950s in Europe witnessed the use of NSM reinforcement for strengthening of RC structures. Because of excessive settlement of steel cage during construction an RC bridge in Sweden needed to be upgraded in its negative moment region in 1948. The task was accomplished by inserting steel reinforcements bars in grooves made in concrete surface and filling it with cement mortar (Asplund 1949). NSM reinforcement has recently been used to upgrade masonry structures to increase its ductility and tensile strength (Atkinsosn and Schuller 1992). The technology has emerged as an effective and economical means to repair and strengthen low-rise masonry buildings and arch bridges (Garrity 1995). The original black steel used at the onset of development has been replaced by stainless steel. Epoxy-based grouts have partially replaced cementitious grout that were used for embedding reinforcement. FRP bars today are prime choice because of their noncorrosive properties and the ability of tailoring bar stiffness to the needs of application. Epoxy-based pastes or latex-modified cement grouts can be used owing to their rapid setting and bond strength.

3. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The strength design approach using NSM FRP reinforcement for RC and PC members recommends use of strength reduction factors as given in ACI 318(1999). It is rather necessary to refer to this version of Building Code than 2008 edition to maintain consistency with design guides issued by ACI on the use of FRP for new construction and repair.

Equations presented in this paper are based on the principle of force equilibrium, strain compatibility and constitutive laws of materials. It is also important to refer to the “Guide for the Design and Construction of Externally Bonded FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures” reported by ACI Committee 440.2R (2008), and the “Guide for the Design and Construction of Concrete Reinforced with FRP Bars” also reported by ACI Committee 440.1R (2006).

Table 1 Environment –reduction factor ( )

Exposure condition Fiber and resin type CE Interior exposure Carbon/epoxy 0.95 Glass/epoxy 0.75 Aramid/epoxy 0.85 Exterior exposure (bridges, piers & unenclosed parking garages)

Carbon/epoxy 0.85

Glass/epoxy 0.65 Aramid/epoxy 0.75 Exposure condition Fiber and resin type CE Aggressive environment (chemical plants & waste water treatment plants)

Carbon/epoxy 0.85

Glass/epoxy 0.50 Aramid/epoxy 0.70

The strengthening threshold imposed to guard the structure against collapse or failure of FRP system due to fire, vandalism, temperature elevation, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, vandalism and other factors should be calculated with great caution. Equation 1 describes the existing strength of the structure(ϕRn) to resist a level of load.

(ϕRn)existing= (1.2D + 0.85L)new (1)

Material properties of FRP reinforcement reported by manufacturers, such as ultimate tensile strength, typically do not consider long-term exposure to environmental conditions, and should be considered as initial properties. FRP properties to be used in all design equations are given as follows (ACI 440 2006 and 2008):

ffu = CEf*fu (2)

εfu = CEε*fu

where ffu and εfu are the FRP design tensile strength and ultimate strain considering the environmental reduction factor (CE) as given in Table 1, and CEf*

fuand CEε*fu represent the

FRP guaranteed tensile strength and ultimate strain as reported by the manufacturer. FRP design modulus of elasticity is the guaranteed value reported by the manufacturer.

procedure presented in this paper involves selecting a given neutral axis depth (c) and a failure mode (i.e. selecting ε c = ε cu or ε f = ε fe); calculating the strain level in each material using strain compatibility; calculating the associated stress level in each material from its stress-strain relationship; and checking internal force equilibrium. If the internal force resultants do not equilibrate, the depth to the neutral axis is revised and repeated.

Whitney stress block approach (ACI 318 1999) can be used as given when concrete crushing controls failure. When FRP rupture or concrete delamination controls failure an appropriate nona rectangular stress block appropriate for holding particular level of strain in concrete should be used. Equation 4 and 5 gives parameters for such stress block (see Figure 6) (Todeschini et al. 1982).

Where, ε 1.71 (5)

tan (ε |ε ) Is computed in radians. The ultimate effective strain (ε ) to be used for FRP reinforcement is given as following.

ε = κ ε (6) Where κ is bond dependent coefficient meant to limit strain in FRP reinforcement in

order to prevent delamination or debonding. Crack formation is the primary reason for debonding or delamination. The end points of strengthening system which represent singular points can be vulnerable to debonding. The main failure modes tested in laboratory set-up are splitting of epoxy cover, cracking of concrete surrounding bar and pull-out of FRP bar. Experiments (De Lorenzis and Nanni 2002) show that κ is affected by surface properties of FRP bars, properties of epoxy paste, groove size and concrete tensile strength. Experimental value of κ ranges from 0.60 to 0.84. Future research should be directed towards generating more accurate method for predicting appropriate bond dependant factor. A value of κm=0.70 has been selected in the design example given in ACI 440(2008). This value is consistent with both experimental data (De Lorenzis and Nanni 2002) and the approach followed by ACI 440 (2008) when defining an equivalent strain reduction factor for externally bonded FRP laminates.

Nominal tension strain attained in concrete surrounding FRP bars can be expressed as

ε , = ε ≤ ε + ε (7)

Where d represents depth of FRP reinforcements as shown in Figure 6. Initial strain ε in equation 7 can be evaluated using elastic analysis of the existing

member considering all loads are present at the time of FRP installation. When concrete crushing controls failure first term ε of the equation should be used and when FRP is controlling the failure mode, the second term ε + ε should be used.

The moment capacity of the strengthened member assuming no compression in steel reinforcement can be calculated using equation 8.

M = A f d − + Ψ A f d − (8)

An additional reduction factor Ψ of 0.85 is recommended to take account for the novelty of FRP data and is not based on test data (ACI 440 2008). f and f are taken from equation 9.

f = E ε < f f = E ε , ≤ E ε (9)

5. SHEAR DESIGN For externally bonded FRP laminates the method to calculate nominal shear capacity of strengthened member using NSM bars is similar to that used in ACI 440(2008). The design approach here deviates from the standard equations. Equation 10 is applicable for NSM systems and the same strength reduction factor φ =0.85 suggested by ACI 318 is used. An additional reduction factor ψ f = 0.85 is applied to the contribution of NSM FRP reinforcement to the shear strength of the member, as previously suggested for flexural design.

ϕv = ϕ(v + v + Ψ v ) (10) Groove dimensions, substrate material quality, FRP rebar type and quality of bond

influence NSM FRP bars contribution to shear capacity (v ). Strain from bond-controlled failure and maximum strain threshold of 0.004 should be taken into consideration while calculating shear capacity (De Lorenzis and Nanni 2001a). Strain threshold is responsible for maintaining shear integrity of concrete (Khalifa et al. 1998) and avoiding shear cracks which compromises aggregate interlock mechanism.

Slope of the shear crack is assumed to be at 45degrees. It is also assumed that bond stress is constant along the effective length of FRP bar at ultimate. The shear strength provided by the NSM reinforcement can be determined by calculating the force resulting from the tensile stress in the FRP bars across the assumed crack, and it is expressed by Equation 11 for circular and rectangular bars respectively.

V = 2πd τ L ∘ Circular bars v ( ) ∘ Rectangular bars (11) where db is the nominal FRP bar diameter, a and b represent the cross-sectional dimension

for rectangular FRP bar, and τ b represents the average bond stress of the bars crossed by a shear crack. Ltot can be expressed as Ltot = ∑i Li. Here Li represents length of each single NSM bar crossed by a 45degree shear crack expressed as following.

L = ∝ ∝ i ≤ l . i = 1 …

lnet −∝ ∝

i ≤ l . i = + 1 … n

(12)

Here α is the slope of FRP bar with respect to longitudinal axis of member. s is the FRP bar spacing. lnet represents net length of FRP bar to account for cracking of concrete cover and installation tolerance as shown in Figure 8. lnet is given by equation 13.

l = l − (13)

Where lb is actual length of FRP bar and c is clear concrete cover of internal longitudinal reinforcement. It is to be noted that c does not necessarily need to be considered as clear concrete cover; Figure9 shows a T-shaped cross section where c represents a term to account for the development length of FRP bars.

The first limitation in Equation 12 takes into consideration bond as the controlling failure mechanism, and represents the minimum effective length of a FRP bar crossed by a shear crack. It is expressed by ⋅ or l − ⋅ depending on the value assumed by the term n.

n = ( ) (14)

Here n is taken as the smallest integer (e.g. n = 32/3 = 10.7 => n = 10), and leff represents the vertical length of lnet written as follows:

l = l sin α − 2c (15) Spacing of FRP shear reinforcement should not exceed lnet/2, or 600 mm (24 in).

Hassan and Rizkalla (2002) suggested an expression for τmax when concrete crushing is the controlling failure mode. When the controlling failure mode is not known, a conservative value of τmax=3.5 MPa (0.50 ksi) is suggested.

7. CONCLUSIONS An overview of flexural and shear design of RC members strengthened with NSM FRP has been presented in this paper. The proposed procedure reflects the framework used in the two guides published by ACI (ACI 440.2R-08, 2008, and ACI 440.1R-06, 2006) with adjustment coming from experimental evidences. Near surface mounted reinforcement is a technique used globally for about half a century to enhance flexural capacity of existing RC and masonry structures. Future research should be directed to understand properties and quality of bond between FRP bars, bars, paste and concrete. Focus should be on understanding the effects of groove size especially when rectangular bars are used. Studies to understand shear strengthening of NSM bars are sure to prove a great boon.
