Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and strips are potential alternatives to conventional soil reinforcements. In this aspect, two commonly used FRP materials are glass-FRP and carbon-FRP (GFRP and CFRP). However, the ...

Abstract: The strain transfer between fiber-optic cable and soil plays a critical role in the deformation characteristics of a cable–soil interface. Existing findings cannot provide a clear understanding of the effects of key ...
