Evaluation of the Low-Cycle Fatigue Life in ASTM A706 and A615 Grade 60 Steel Reinforcing Bars
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The low-cycle fatigue behavior of ASTM A706 and A615 Grade 60 (420 MPa) deformed reinforcing steel bars were evaluated experimentally. Although this study was initiated to evaluate the low-cycle fatigue of reinforcing bars ...
Artificial Neural Network Predictions of Fatigue Life of Steel Bars Based on Hysteretic Energy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The fatigue life of steel reinforcing bars depends on the energy dissipated during cyclic loading. Steel bars play a major role in energy dissipation in reinforced concrete structures under low-cycle fatigue loading during ...
Bond Behavior of CFRP Cured Laminates: Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) as strengthening systems to improve the condition and overall capacity of existing reinforced concrete structural members is ...
Simplified Optimum Design Procedure for Special Unbonded Posttensioned Split Precast Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a set of simplified design equations for an unbonded posttensioned (PT) precast split hybrid shear wall system is developed. Such a system was proposed by the Precast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) and ...
Probabilistic-Based Approach for Evaluating the Thermal Response of Concrete Slabs under Fire Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Performance-based design for fire safety has been introduced in several international design frameworks. The fire models and simulations include various assumptions and simplifications, and the current fire resistance ...
RC Columns Strengthened with NSM-CFRP Strips and CFRP Wraps under Axial and Uniaxial Bending: Experimental Investigation and Capacity Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The efficiency of the use of near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips confined with CFRP wraps to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) columns will be experimentally and analytically investigated ...
Flexural and Bond Behavior of Concrete Beams Strengthened with CFRP and Galvanized Steel Mesh Laminates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are effectively and predominantly used for flexure strengthening of RC beams. Recently, new emerging composite materials known as galvanized steel mesh (GSM) sheets, which ...
Contribution of Longitudinal NSM-CFRP Bars on the Shear Strength of RC Beams with Varying Depths and Concrete Strengths
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To assess experimentally the effect of flexural near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars mounted on the sides of beams on the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, 18 shear-deficient ...
Influence of CFRP Spike Anchors on the Performance of Flexural CFRP Sheets Externally Bonded to Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used in the strengthening and retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) members to enhance their flexural and shear capacities. Strengthening with FRP systems has been ...
Shear Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete T-Beams with Anchored CFRP Laminates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures by externally bonding carbon fiber–reinforced polymers (CFRP) applied to the concrete substrate has proven to be effective in enhancing the shear capacity of ...
