Experimental Study of Punching Shear Resistance of Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete Interior Slabs
(2016-09)
This study experimentally explores the suitability of Synthetic Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (SNFRC) as a feasible method for improving the punching shear strength of two-way slabs. The investigation involved interior flat ...
Numerical Study of Localization Failure in Structural Steel Under Impact Loading
(2011-10)
High quality steels are used as a skeleton supporting many infrastructure constructions like, for example, skyscrapers, arenas, stadiums, bridges and others. The likelihood that these structures could be severely damaged ...
Effect of Concrete Type on Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with HSS Bars
(2016-03)
High-Strength Steel (HSS) bars can be a promising alternative to commonly used mild steel since they have the potential of making more efficient use of highperformance concrete and reducing the required number and size of ...
Novel Near-Field Microwave Testing Method for Outdoor Insulators
(2011-06)
Outdoor insulators are very vital in providing energized overhead lines mechanical support and electrical insulation from grounded structures. Insulators can be divided according to the material they are made of into glass, ...
Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Hybrid Systems
(2017-12)
The demand for strengthening of aging reinforced concrete (RC) structures are continuously rising. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are the most widely used externally bonded-reinforcing (EBR) materials for strengthening ...
Sustainability of Composite Columns under Repeated Load and Harsh Environment
(2013-01)
Strengthening and rehabilitation are important operations for structural building to ensure sustainability. Enhancing the performance for the structural elements against the various loads and extreme conditions is the key ...
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 ...
Transformer Condition Assessment Using Artificial Intelligence
(2010-05)
As a result of the deregulations in the power system networks, utilities have been competing to optimize their operational costs and enhance the reliability of their electrical infrastructure. So, the importance of ...
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 Fiber Addition on the Performance of Preloaded CFRP Strengthened Concrete Beams
(2017-12)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of fiber addition on the performance of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams that have been externally strengthened in flexure using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets. ...
