Abstract

This proiect demonstrated by full-scale hydrostatic pressure testing that carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)-renewed PCCP with extensive broken wire zones can develop the calculated capacity while maintaining watertightness. These tests supplement the analytical and experimental work previously performed in project 4352, CFRP Renewal of Prestressed Cylinder Concrete Pipe. Published in 2014.
