Abstract: The emergence of nondestructive evaluation as a factor to be considered in the entire life cycle of materials, from design, through fabrication of components and structures, to in-service ...

Abstract: The present study focuses on the mechanical response of concrete columns confined with fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRP). Practical columns often deviate from axisymmetric conditions due to noncircular cross section, ...

Abstract: An analytical tension-stiffening model was developed for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets bonded to reinforced concrete based on equilibrium equations and the assumption of linear behavior between bond stress and slip. ...

Abstract: A concise state-of-the-art survey of fiber-reinforced polymer (also known as fiber-reinforced plastic) composites for construction applications in civil engineering is presented. The paper is organized into separate sections ...
