Abstract:
Near-surface-mounted (NSM) reinforcement can be used for strengthening of concrete members without extensive demolition of concrete sections. The article offers a historical review of this strengthening method and discusses its basic mechanics and design considerations, as well as projects where NSM was used for flexural strengthening of bridge elements.
