Investigation of Mechanical Strength of Reinforced Steel Structure Members with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP)

There are over two thousand types of steel manufacturing, in order to use in different industries. This kind of manufacturing the composition, the strength, stiffness and are divided into classes according to their intended use. Buckling, brittleness or sagging in structural steel are undesirable conditions and structural steel components are preferred accordingly. However, at the optimum level, structural steel production alone does not seem possible. Therefore, it may be needed to strengthen the steel structure production. The most common reinforcement material used in structural reinforcements in the market is carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP). Compared to CFRP weight, it has high mechanical performance, excellent corrosion resistance and superior environmental resistance. On the other hand, it is a material that has an aesthetic and flexible structure, can be produced in desired shapes and can be easily applied.
