Abstract: The interfacial bond parameters are quantified and modeled in this work through experimental and analytical studies. A database comprising 628 shear tests of externally-bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) joints is built ...

Abstract: The confinement effect of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacket on the plastic hinge length of square RC columns is studied through experimental testing and analytical study. Seven half-scale RC square columns with different ...

Abstract: Teleoperation rendezvous and docking (RVD) can be used as a supporting technology for unmanned spacecrafts, or as a technology to dock the chaser with a noncooperative target. Teleoperation RVD has attracted little attention ...

Abstract: Structural retrofitting by wrapping with fiber reinforced–polymer (FRP) laminates can effectively increase the ductility of RC columns. The effect of the FRP-to-concrete interfacial bond on the behavior of FRP-confined RC ...

Abstract: There is no doubt that the strength and ductility of concrete structures can be enhanced significantly by lateral confining with steel or fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). Nevertheless, studying the mechanical response of ...

Abstract: Traditional deep-buried tunnel excavation theories often overlook the self-weight of surrounding rock within the calculation zone, leading to increased design errors and potential safety risks. This study proposes an ...

Abstract: Robust validation of the space?time structure of remotely sensed precipitation estimates is critical to improving their quality and confident application in water cycle?related research. In this work, the performance of ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement is an effective way of enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete. However, currently, a model that can predict the mechanical response of eccentrically loaded FRP-confined ...
