Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) can provide a strengthening alternative for unreinforced and underreinforced masonry. The ease with which FRP can be installed on the exterior of a masonry wall makes this form of strengthening ...

Abstract: Dynamic characteristics of a traffic signal structure were determined experimentally. Various strategies were investigated to provide additional damping. By decreasing the magnitude and the number of fatigue cycles caused ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been examined as a convenient and cost-effective means of strengthening unreinforced masonry structures. Seismic design in the United States is almost entirely based on the ...

Abstract: This paper is the first of two companion papers that cover the results of corrosion and structural testing of eight large-scale stay cable specimens. Four of the specimens had the traditional stay-cable corrosion protection ...

Abstract: This paper is the second of two companion papers that cover the results of corrosion and structural testing of eight large-scale stay cable specimens. Four of the specimens had the traditional system of portland cement ...

Abstract: Grout mixes using commercially available antibleed admixtures were tested for fresh properties and subsequently corrosion tested using anodic polarization to accelerate the corrosion process. Commercial admixtures that are ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of a cantilevered traffic signal structure were determined experimentally and theoretically. The experimental procedures involved forced vibration of the structure by an eccentric-mass oscillator. ...
