Abstract
This paper presents the outcomes of load tests performed on concrete beams reinforced to withstand bending stress through the application of a carbon fibres-based compound. The innovative nature of the proposed experiment lies in the choice of reinforced elements, that is artificially deteriorated concrete beams.
