RISEmbedded Through-Section FRP Rod Method for Shear Strengthening of RC Beams: Performance and Comparison with Existing Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Embedded through-section (ETS) technique is a recently developed method to increase the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rods. The ETS method presents many advantages over ...
Behavior of Grouted Anchors Subjected to Repeated Loadings in Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of full-scale repeated-loading tests performed on three prestressed and six passive anchors grouted to various lengths in a rock mass. Different levels of prestress load, ranging from 22% ...
Effect of Different Constituent Fiber, Resin, and Sizing Combinations on Alkaline Resistance of Basalt, Carbon, and Glass FRP Bars
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: When used as an internal reinforcement, fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) composite bars are exposed to a highly alkaline (pH > 12.5) concrete environment. This study evaluated the durability of 24 types of FRP bars in a ...
Durability Gap Analysis for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites in Civil Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The lack of a comprehensive, validated, and easily accessible data base for the durability of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as related to civil infrastructure applications has been identified as a critical ...
