Abstract: This study proposed a bond mechanism based deterioration model of bond interfacial fracture energy for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-concrete joints in moist environments. The bond interface region relative humidity (IRRH) ...

Abstract: Modeling the movement and distribution of moisture in the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites strengthened concrete structure is important because the interfacial adhesion between FRP and concrete is susceptible to ...

Abstract: An experimental and numerical program to investigate the behavior of intermediate crack (IC) debonding failure and the bond-slip relationship between the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates and concrete in FRP-strengthened ...

Abstract: An experimental study of principal strains and deflections of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite bridge deck systems is presented. The experimental results are shown to correlate well with those of an analytical ...

Abstract: A novel experimental method using modified double cantilever beam specimens and a customized test frame are introduced to evaluate bond characteristics and toughness of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite overlays and ...

Abstract: The application of concrete is severely limited in construction in cold areas. However, the local ice has functioned as a potential substitute for concrete for a long time. In order to make efficient use of ice to overcome ...
