Fatigue Behavior and Prediction of NSM CFRP-Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a total of 16 reinforced concrete beams (dimensions of 203×305×3,861 mm) strengthened with near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods and strips were tested under four-point ...
Predicting Flexural Fatigue Performance of RC Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded FRP due to FRP Debonding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, an analytical model is proposed to predict the flexural fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded (EB) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates due to FRP debonding. ...
Fatigue Bond Characteristics and Degradation of Near-Surface Mounted CFRP Rods and Strips in Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the bond characteristics and degradation under fatigue loading of near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods and strips embedded in concrete. Thirty-six concrete block ...
Modeling of Interior Ballistic Gas Solid Flow Using a Coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics Discrete Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In conventional models for twophase reactive flow of interior ballistic, the dynamic collision phenomenon of particles is neglected or empirically simplified. However, the particle collision between particles may play an ...
Fatigue Bond Characteristics and Degradation of Near-Surface Mounted CFRP Rods and Strips in Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the bond characteristics and degradation under fatigue loading of near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods and strips embedded in concrete. Thirty-six concrete block ...
Cohesive Model-Based Approach for Fatigue Life Prediction of Reinforced-Concrete Structures Strengthened with NSM FRP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a fatigue-life prediction model of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite rods under flexure. This model is based on the ...
Fatigue Behavior and Prediction of NSM CFRP-Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a total of 16 reinforced concrete beams (dimensions of
Optimizing Speed Limits Upstream of Freeway Reconstruction and Expansion Work Zones Based on Driver Characteristics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Traffic incidents occurring in freeway work zones mainly include rear-end accidents and roadside accidents, as well as collisions between vehicles and traffic facilities and construction personnel. Speeding is the key ...
Single Crack–Based Model for FRP Shear-Strengthened RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a single crack–based model is proposed for predicting the contribution of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement to the shear resistance of FRP shear-strengthened reinforced concrete beams. This critical ...
Measurement of the Axial Residual Stresses Using the Initial Strain Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditionally, the unknown variables to be estimated in residual stress measurement are based on the approximation of the stresses. In this paper an alternative approach is presented, in which ...
