A recent paper of my team at QU on the newly developed near-surface embedded fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) technique for flexural strengthening of beams. NSE is analogous to near surface mounted for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. Your opinion matters!

dear doctor I like this idea its amazing mix between the advantages of EB and NSM with good appearance. However, the process of strengthening seems to be complicated and it takes time.
Hi,
Congratulations, It's a good idea for increasing the flexural capacity of RC beams.
"The efficacy of hybrid near-surface embedded/externally bonded (NSE/EB) fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) for flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams was assessed experimentally"
Good luck
