Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plates have gained popularity in the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) members due to the high strength to weight ratio, the ease of installation and low maintenance costs compared to other systems such as steel plates. Also, external bonding of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plate has been proven to be an effective method to strengthen and damage RC structures. However, not much attention has been given to the long-term behavioral aspects of FRP-strengthened RC members. It is difficult to accurately predict the long-term deflection, crack width and behavior of FRP-strengthened RC members. This study presents a method for predicting the deflections at any time of the service life of normal and high strength concrete structures, loaded at any age, creep coefficient and shrinkage strain and the participation of the compressive steel for RC beams, and for RC beams strengthened with FRP plates. The accurate prediction of deflections is a complex problem which requires the use of non-linear and time-dependent analytical methods. These methods are, in general, time consuming and require great effort[6-13]. However, at the design stage, simple but reliable methods which take into account the most important parameters influencing the long-term deflections may be very useful to adequately design the structure. For that purpose, many simplified methods have been developed [1-2-3-4-14]. Equations have been programmed to access the method combines the simplicity and accuracy and provides valuable information about the influence of each parameter on the increasing deflections with time. The analytical values are compared to the experimental results from some existing papers [8-9], and to the results obtained from ACI code [1]. It is found that the analytical method is in a good agreement with the experimental results from some existing papers [8-9].

This paper makes an experimental and analytical investigation of cracks characteristics in Fiber Reinforced Polymer strengthened RC beams under different levels of sustained load and Reinforced ratio. As the equations available for conventional RC b eams are inappropriate for the calculation of the short-term crack width in FRP-strengthened RC beams[8], a statistical analysis is carried out on available test data from international sources [6-9-10] and from the test results obtained in the current study (Concrete Labor- Civil engineering Department- Damascus University-2014) to establish a new equation that considers the effect of the FRP laminates. This equation is a correlation of stress in steel bars, concrete surface tension , and effective side cover. The long-term crack width is then related to the instantaneous crack width by empirical equations which are derived from the test results obtained in the current study.
Analysis of The results for one of the most important experimental tests on masonry arches strengthened at their extrados or at their intrados by fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)strips;shows that the presence of the fibers prevents the brittle coll apse that occur in plain arch because of formation of four hinges, therefore (depending on position and amount of reinforcement) in strengthened arches, there are three possible mechanisms : 1- masonry crushing , 2- detachment of fibers, and 3- sliding along a mortar joint due to the shear stresses. Some analytical approaches describing these mechanisms are discussed and a comparison between the theoretical values that give and the experimental results was performed to show the agreements , according to analytical study of the experimental results strengthening by fibers enhances the strength and ductility of strengthened arches, the width of strips and the bond between them and masonry are so important to perform optimum strengthening.
In the last two decades, the use of advanced composite materials such as Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) in strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements has been increasing. Research and design guidelines concluded that externally bo nded FRP could increase the capacity of RC elements efficiently. However, the linear stressstrain characteristics of FRP up to failure and lack of yield plateau have a negative impact on the overall ductility of the strengthened RC elements. Use of hybrid FRP laminates, which consist of a combination of either carbon and glass fibers, or glass and aramid fibers, changes the behavior of the material to a non-linear behavior. This paper aims to study the performance of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by hybrid FRP laminates.
The research includes an analytical study of long term pumping test with observation wells to get the optimum determination of the most important hydrogeological parameters of confined aquifer in Banyas, by pumping from a well with average pumping rate 10104m3/day for 36 hours and only 5 hours of complete recovery groundwater level. This test is accompanied by measuring the variations of the groundwater levels in the monitoring wells. Analytical methods of steady- unsteady of groundwater flow are used to evaluate the long term pumping test, and then to determine the optimum evaluation. The Transmissivity of the confined aquifer is about 5000 m2/day (very high potential), and the storage coefficient is 1,8.10-4. Then they used to predict the groundwater drawdown during one day. So, we can get 20000 m3/day from the aquifer and the drawdown not more than 1,75 m as quasi-steady drawdown at distance 500 m from the pumping well.
