Abstract: This paper presents the effectiveness of strengthening slab–column connections against punching shear failure with near surface–mounted (NSM) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars. The experimental program consists ...

Abstract: The favorable mechanical properties of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars, such as their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, lower environmental impact, and electromagnetic neutrality, ...
