Abstract: Forty-five glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars were tested in compression to determine their ultimate strength and Young’s modulus. The rebars (or C-bars), produced by Marshall Industries Composites, Inc., had an ...

Abstract: Two long-term loads concrete stress/strain models are introduced. One model, the typical long-term model, uses modified parabolic and linear equations to include creep and shrinkage effects. The other, the realistic long-term ...

Abstract: Information drawn from national engineering magazines, a nationally distributed newspaper, and a statewide newspaper in Kentucky is presented for 114 bridge failures in the continental U.S. Failures during the construction ...

Abstract: Many experimental studies have been performed to evaluate the behavior of noncorroding glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars in reinforced concrete (RC) flexural members. Relatively few studies have focused on the ...
