Temperature Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon, Glass and Carbon-Glass FRP Laminates
(Elsevier, 2015-01)
Externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates are widely used to strengthen and rehabilitate reinforced concrete (RC) structural members in flexure and shear. Despite the clear and proven advantages of using ...
Effects of harsh environmental exposures on the bond capacity between concrete and GFRP reinforcing bars
(2014-03)
This paper demonstrates an experimental study to evaluate the effects of environmental
exposures on the bond between ribbed Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars and
concrete. The equation recommended ...
Strength and Ductility of Axially Loaded RC Short Columns Confined with CFRP and GFRP Wraps
(2013-01)
With the evolution of technology, construction industry has witnessed enormous advancement in the production of concrete and construction materials. Such materials have helped the community to produce structures that consume ...
Evaluation of fiber reinforced polymer bars under compression: experiments and finite element simulations
(2020-11)
The behavior of Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) bars under compression is not fully understood yet due to the limited research in this area; therefore, American concrete institute (ACI) does not recommend using FRP bars ...
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, ...
Evaluation of the Bond and Tensile Strength of GFRP Bars Exposed to Harsh Environment
(2014-01)
Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have become one of the fastest-emerging materials to compete with conventional steel bars for use in concrete. The mechanical properties and durability of FRP materials are the main concerns ...
