Abstract: In steel and concrete composite beams, the incomplete interaction between steel profile and concrete slab leads to an appreciable increase of the beam deflections with respect to full interaction behavior. Moreover, the ...

Abstract: Several proposals have been carried out for modeling a fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP)-to-concrete interface whose behavior is not completely described by fracture energy value, which could often be derived in closed form. ...

Abstract: Intuitively, the fire endurance of concrete members reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is related to the decrease in the mechanical properties of the materials concerned, especially resin. Large-scale fire ...

Abstract: Despite the extensive research on the debonding behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening systems, no standard methodology has been established on its experimental characterization. To assess the performance ...
