Behavior of FRP-RC Columns Using BFRP Ties under Concentric Loading
(2019-12)Several studies have investigated the use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) rebars in reinforced concrete (RC) flexural members. However, not enough depth of understanding is currently available with regards to their use ... -
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, ... -
Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced for Shear with Steel Welded Wire Fabric
(2021-07)Past studies have shown that welded wire fabric (WWF) can be used as an effective alternative to stirrups in resisting shear in reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Such a form of reinforcement reduces the time required to ... -
Flexural Performance of RC Beams with Hybrid Combination of Conventional FRP and PET Laminates
(2023-03)Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) beams. However, due to composites' brittleness, strengthened beams usually fail by premature brittle debonding ... -
Flexural Response of Reinforced Concrete One-Way Slabs Embedded with Pet Bottles
(2023-05)The feasibility of a cost-effective and eco-friendly slab system to be used in developing regions is investigated. The system consists of a thin reinforced concrete slab that is embedded with polyethylene terephthalate ... -
Performance of RC Columns Strengthened with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
(2021-05)A recently emerging technique to strengthen existing concrete structures using Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is introduced to retrofit structural members. FRCM is an inorganic matrix that consists of textile ... -
Use of Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands as Shear Reinforcement in Concrete Beams
(2017-12)A new method of lateral shear reinforcement is investigated in which a reinforced concrete (RC) beam is transversely reinforced by Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands (ISSSBs), instead of conventional stirrups. The steel ...
