Abstract:

This article details the results of a pilot research project on the use of polymer composites and high-strength adhesives for the structural repair of damaged steel frame connections. The primary repair system developed consists of 3-D braided graphite/epoxy composite connectors attached to the flanges of both beams and columns by adhesives or bolts. Bolted and adhesively bonded conventional steel stiffeners were also covered.
