Abstract: This paper describes the development of high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (HPFRC) with very high strength and the feasibility of using this concrete as a repairing material. Initially two HPFRC mixtures were ...

Abstract: This paper presents a procedure based on the Arrhenius relation to predict the long-term behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete structures, based on short-term data from accelerated aging tests. ...

Abstract: There is a pressing need for development and implementation of advanced materials and methods for rehabilitation of infrastructure worldwide. To this end, externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer or plastic (FRP) composites ...

Abstract: This paper describes a synthesis of findings pertaining to rehabilitation of concrete T-beam bridges with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites from a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District ...

Abstract: In bridge engineering, the three-dimensional behavior of a bridge system is usually reduced to the analysis of a T-beam section, loaded by an equivalent fraction of the applied live load, which is called the

Abstract: The deterioration of concrete structures, particularly highway bridges, has motivated the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for retrofitting damaged components, typically using externally bonded carbon fabrics ...
