Abstract: Strengthening two-way slabs by using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is experimentally and analytically evaluated. Results show that the punching capacity of two-way slabs can increase to up to 40% greater than that of a ...

Abstract: The shear behavior of four full-scale deep beams reinforced with carbon and glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars were investigated. The beams were supported over a 3,000-mm span with a projection of 1,000 mm on each ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel beam-testing method to assess the bond performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced-concrete resisting systems subjected to tension–compression reversed cyclic loading. Special ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel beam-testing method to assess the bond performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced-concrete resisting systems subjected to tension–compression reversed cyclic loading. Special ...

Abstract: The ACI and CSA design codes offer no unified method for evaluating the deformability of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced-concrete (RC) structures, although numerous experimental results for such elements are ...

Abstract: Flexural behavior and serviceability performance of 24 full-scale concrete beams reinforced with carbon-, glass-, and aramid-fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) bars are investigated. The beams were 3,300 mm long with a rectangular ...

Abstract: Experimental results of midrise RC shear walls under quasistatic cyclic loading were used to investigate the interaction of flexural and shear deformations. Four large-scale shear walls—one reinforced with steel bars and ...

Abstract: The present study addresses the applicability of reinforced concrete shear walls totally reinforced with glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars to attain reasonable strength and drift requirements as specified in ...
