RISPullout Bond Properties of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Tendons to Grout
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of pullout bond tests on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tendons embedded in cement mortar filled steel tubes. The pullout test program involved four types of FRP bars, three types of grouts, ...
Behavior of GFRP Reinforcing Bars Subjected to Extreme Temperatures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Corrosion of steel reinforced concrete members has stimulated the research on fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) to be used as an internal reinforcement for concrete structures. The behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polymer ...
Physical, Mechanical, and Durability Characterization of Preloaded GFRP Reinforcing Bars
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the physical, mechanical, and durability characterization of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) (GFRP) bars subjected to different tensile stress levels. FRP bars were first loaded at levels up to 20, ...
Effects of FRP Reinforcement Ratio and Concrete Strength on Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Corrosion of the steel reinforcement in a cold and saline environment leads to the overall deterioration of reinforced concrete structures. To avoid such deterioration, fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) rebars are used in ...
Effect of GFRP Shear Stirrups on Strength of Two-Way GFRP RC Edge Slabs: Experimental and Finite-Element Investigations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars have recently gained wide acceptance as a viable construction material for sustainable new constructions. Yet current codes and guidelines have not addressed the design ...
Performance and Durability of In-Plant Partially Cured GFRP Bent Bars in Steam-Cured Precast Concrete Elements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bent bars were used as shear reinforcement for precast/prestressed concrete box beams in Ontario, Canada. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests performed on the bent GFRP bars ...
Alkali–Silica Reactivity of Sand Used in Sand-Coating Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars as Internal Reinforcement for Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: New guidelines require that sand particles used to provide a bond between the FRP reinforcing bars and concrete to be free of any expansion due to alkali–aggregate reactions. The current study aims at establishing the ...
Permeability Measurement of Granular Porous Materials by a Modified Falling-Head Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Liquid flows through granular material are common phenomena in different engineering fields. Under certain conditions, this type of flow can be described by Darcy’s law, which involves the permeability of the porous medium. ...
Two-Way Shear Strength of GFRP-Reinforced Precast Concrete Box Culverts under Vertical Concentrated Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the two-way shear strength of precast concrete box culverts reinforced with glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. The investigations included testing four full-scale ...
Design and Performance of Reinforced Concrete Water Chlorination Tank Totally Reinforced with GFRP Bars: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforced-concrete (RC) tanks in water and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) experience severe corrosion problems resulting from the application of specific treatment methods or chemicals. Municipalities around the world ...
