Durability Study of Basalt Fiber-reinforced Bars Exposed to Harsh Environments
(2019-04)In this research, the durability of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers (BFRP) bars of 10 mm diameter is studied after direct exposure to severe conditions. The main aim is to investigate the degradation performance of the ... -
Durability Study on the Bond Strength of Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) Bars
(2014-02)In the last few decades, Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) bars have emerged as alternatives to conventional steel reinforcing bars to overcome the corrosion problem found in reinforced concrete structures. Numerous studies ... -
Effect of Basalt Fibers on The Flexural Behavior of Beams Reinforced With BFRP Bars
(2018-05)Over the last few decades, construction materials have gone through many developments aimed at improving their structural and operational properties. The implementation of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as a replacement ... -
Effect of Flexural NSM-FRP Bars on the Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams
(2019-05)Strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) members in flexure and shear, using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates and near surface mounted (NSM) bars has been developed over the last few decades. Conventionally, FRP ... -
Experimental Investigation of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Columns Under Concentric and Eccentric Loading
(2019-06)The problem of corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete (RC) structures has urged the need for alternative reinforcement materials. One possible alternative is fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, which are non-corrosive, ... -
External strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete beams with flexural CFRP laminates
(International Workshop on Performance, Protection & Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading (PROTECT 2015), 2015-06)This paper presents an experimental investigation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with externally bonded flexural carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets attached to the soffit of the beam via ... -
Flexural Performance of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers (BFRP) Bars
(2019-05)This research studies the flexural behavior of concrete beams that are reinforced longitudinally with the newly discovered Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers (BFRP) bars. The aim is to examine the suitability of using BFRP ... -
Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams in flexure with side bonded CFRP laminates
(Conference on Durability of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites for Construction and Rehabilitation of Structures (CDCC 2017), 2017-07)Carbon fiber reinforcement polymer CFRP laminates are widely used nowadays in civil engineering applications to externally strengthen structural concrete elements against deficiencies in flexure and shear. These deficiencies ...
