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 Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with FRP Bars Under Long Exposure to UAE Environment
(2021-03)Due to the large research pool of Fiber-reinforced Polymers (FRP) reinforcements, their utilization as main reinforcement in concrete structures has gained the trust of the engineering community. In fact, design codes such ... -
Flexural Bond Performance of Anchored CFRP Laminates to Concrete Beams
(2021-12)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are being extensively used in retrofitting and strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) members due to their superior properties such as high strength and corrosion resistance. ... -
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 ... -
Flexural Performance of Concrete Beams Strengthened Using CFRP Sheets with Large Spike Anchors
(2023-03)Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have a proven strength enhancement capability when attached to reinforced concrete (RC) beams. However, the inherent brittleness of FRP composites largely sacrifices the full load-carrying ... -
Flexural Performance of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Ultra High Strength Concrete
(2022-04)This research investigated the flexural performance of beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and cast using Ultra High Strength Concrete (UHSC) with a nominal compressive strength of 140 MPa. A total ... -
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 ...
