Note: (a) time “18 + 15” means that t1i = 18, and t2i = 15, and the same as follows. (b) CC = crushing of concrete in the compression zone; PS = peel off of CFRP. (c) As the concrete cover of the beam L10 and L11 were lost, the grouting material was used to re-cast the protective layer firstly, and then, the beams were strengthened with CFRP like the others.
