RISBond Behavior of Straight and Bent Glass Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Bars at Elevated Temperatures: Pull-Out Tests and Numerical Simulations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The bond between concrete and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is severely degraded when the glass transition temperature of the FRP (set mainly by the polymeric matrix, typically a thermosetting resin) is approached, ...
Three-Dimensional Finite-Element Modeling of the Thermomechanical Response of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Slab Strips Subjected to Fire
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The fire design of reinforced concrete (RC) members with glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars comprising lap splices and cold anchoring zones requires the explicit consideration of the GFRP–concrete bond degradation ...
Natural Weathering of GFRP Structures: Case Studies, Data Survey, and Proposal of a Moisture Conversion Factor for Durability Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper defines a conversion factor included in the European technical specification for the design of fibre–polymer composite structures that considers the effects of moisture on the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced ...
