Abstract: To make significant advances in concrete engineering, it will be necessary to understand the behavior of cementitious materials at the microscale. To achieve this goal, the nature of damage initiation and growth needs to ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results from an investigation into the reliability of reinforced concrete bridge girders strengthened in shear using fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). Two expressions for the shear design of ...

Abstract: Corrosion of reinforced concrete is a chronic infrastructure problem, particularly in areas with deicing salt and marine exposure. To maintain structural integrity, a testing method is needed to ...

Abstract: Corrosion of reinforced concrete structures creates serviceability and safety issues, costing millions of dollars for inspection, repair, and rehabilitation. Recent efforts have focused on monitoring corrosion in situ, ...
