Abstract: In this study, a new concept for detecting air voids, water intrusion, and glue infiltration damages in fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs)-strengthened concrete structures was developed. The concept, based on detecting the ...

Abstract: In this study, a new technique for detecting ungrouted cells in concrete block masonry constructions was developed. The concept, based on detecting the local dielectric permittivity variations, was employed to design ...

Abstract: In this study, 13 typical wide-flange steel columns, each carrying an axial load equal to 25% of its axial capacity, are field tested using live explosives, involving charge size of 50 to 250 kg of ammonium nitrate/fuel ...
