Abstract: A series of finite-element analyses for slab­–column edge connections reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement and subjected to reversed-cyclic lateral load is conducted and discussed. A three-dimensional ...

Abstract: Several empirical models have been introduced during the last two decades to estimate the punching capacity of two-way slabs reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement. In this study, the applicability ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete deep beams are common structural elements in bridges and high-rise buildings because of their ability to support higher concentrated loads compared with slender beams. In this study, three simply supported ...

Abstract: Ten large-scale high-strength concrete (HSC) circular columns were constructed and tested to failure. Nine columns were internally reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and spirals, whereas one was ...

Abstract: In this study, the bond behavior of sand-coated glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in cementitious composite matrix reinforced with the recently developed basalt fiber (BF) pellets and steel fibers (SF) ...

Abstract: The seismic behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer-reinforced concrete (FRP-RC) columns is far from being fully explored. Therefore, numerical and analytical studies were performed to address the effects of different parameters ...

Abstract: In this study, the bond behavior of sand-coated glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in a novel type of cementitious composite, containing nanosilica, slag, and reinforced with recently developed basalt fiber ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) corbels are commonly utilized in bridges and industrial buildings to support primary beams and girders. Using glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in corbels can be advantageous due ...

Abstract: Different rehabilitation techniques have been utilized to extend the service life of wooden utility poles, which are mainly affected by degradation and decay. This paper presents an evaluation of the performance of wooden ...

Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcements can be used as shear friction connectors at the interface of concrete composite elements to maintain structural integrity. However, the shear friction mechanism at the ...
