Abstract: Performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in repair and retrofit of concrete structures depends to a great extent on the substrate condition to which it is bonded. The present research investigated the effect ...

Abstract: Retrofitting concrete structures with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates has become an increasingly common practice. Disbonds at the concrete-FRP interface, if left untreated, may adversely affect ...

Abstract: A study has been undertaken to investigate different solver and shell element performances for curved bridge finite-element analysis. Three sparse solvers were implemented into a bridge finite-element analysis code, and ...
