Abstract: Coating the walls with reinforced concrete layers is a conventional method of strengthening masonry structures in Iran. However, because of the lack of analytical and experimental information about the behavior of strengthened ...

Abstract: Recent durability studies have shown the susceptibility of bond in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened masonry components to hygrothermal exposures. However, it is not clear how this local material degradation ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the results of accelerated hygrothermal (coupled temperature and moisture) tests on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened clay bricks, aimed at investigating bond degradation mechanisms. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a high-tensile-strength engineered geopolymer composite (EGC) reinforced by polyethylene (PE) fibers. The influences of fiber dosage (1.5%, 1.75%, and 2.0%) and length (6, 12, and 18 mm) on the ...
