Abstract: This paper introduces a dilatancy-based analytical model of the response of an axially loaded concrete cylinder, confined with a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite jacket. Model construction is based on the experimentally ...

Abstract: The development, the validation, and the implementation of a new seismic retrofit system for reinforced concrete columns are described. The column jacketing system consists of continuous carbon fiber prepreg tows wound in ...

Abstract: The paper describes the development and characterization of a modular bridge system incorporating fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite girders connected by stiffened FRP deck panels which serve as both formwork and ...

Abstract: Measures to prevent progressive collapse of structures include protection of critical elements such as columns. In support of this goal, nine tests were conducted to assess the as-built performance of typical columns and ...
