Abstract: This paper presents the results of a multiphase project aimed at developing composite systems for flexural capacity upgrade of steel girders. This study is divided into three phases; namely (1) large-scale verifications ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the effects of impact loading on the residual tensile strength of woven graphite epoxy laminates with a toughened resin system. In this study, both cross-ply,

Abstract: Long-term exposure to a harsh environment leads to irreversible degradation of mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) profiles. Understanding the aging effects on pultruded FRP composites due to long-term ...
