Abstract: This study investigates and compares several available plasticity models used to describe the thermomechanical behavior of structural steel subjected to complex loadings. The main purpose of this ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the shear behavior of concrete beams reinforced with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. In this study, 10 reinforced concrete beams with no transverse reinforcement, including 2 beams ...

Abstract: The use of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars as a reinforcing material has gained increasing interest worldwide. However, few studies have reported on these bars’ performance in concrete when exposed to harsh ...

Abstract: This study investigated the efficiency of strengthening low-strength RC short columns with fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). Twelve columns were cast with concrete with a compressive strength of 18 MPa. All ...

Abstract: Twelve concrete columns reinforced longitudinally with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars were tested under both concentric and eccentric loadings. The investigated parameters were the type of the FRP bar, the longitudinal ...

Abstract: Corrosion resistant alloy steel (MMFX) reinforcing bar is increasingly utilized in structural engineering applications due to their high yield strength and corrosion resistance. This paper aims to characterize the ...
