Abstract: For important structures, it is increasingly required that catastrophic failure of the entire structure be prevented. Failure of an element due to an accidental event must not result in progressive collapse of other elements ...

Abstract: When fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars are used as reinforcement in concrete sections in flexure, it is necessary to control the width of cracks by limiting the tensile stress in the FRP in service to a small fraction ...

Abstract: This paper presents a synthesis of the design provisions of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code for fiber-reinforced structures. These include structures reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer and fiber-reinforced ...
