RISReinforced Concrete T-Beams Strengthened in Shear with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research studies the interaction of concrete, steel stirrups, and external fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets in carrying shear loads in reinforced concrete beams. A total of eight tests were conducted on four ...
Simplified Shear Design Method for Concrete Beams Strengthened with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified shear design method for reinforced concrete beams strengthened externally with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. This design method combines both the strip method and the shear friction ...
Fatigue Strength of Coped Steel Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To investigate the fatigue behavior of coped beams, nine full‐scale specimens are tested; stress range and cope radius were the two test parameters. It is found that the stress concentration effect produced by the cope ...
Cyclic Flexure Tests of Masonry Walls Reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The research work reported here investigates the out-of-plane flexural behavior of masonry walls reinforced externally with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets and subjected to cyclic loading. A full-scale test ...
Strengthening of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using FRPs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental program conducted at the University of Alberta showed that externally applied fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) are effective in increasing the load-carrying capacity of unreinforced masonry walls that are ...
Numerical Investigation of Tearing Fracture of Wrinkled Pipe
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Steel pipelines, buried in cold regions, often respond to thermal strains and/or geotechnical movement caused by factors such as thaw settlement, frost heave, and slope instability. These complex ...
Concrete Slabs Reinforced with FRP Grids. II: Punching Resistance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Study of Stress Intensity Factor of a Cracked Steel Plate with a Single-Side CFRP Composite Patching
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Composite fiber patching techniques have been considered as alternatives to traditional methods of strengthening and fatigue crack repair in steel structures. It is known that the fatigue strength of a cracked steel element ...
Fracture of Wrinkled Pipes Subjected to Monotonic Deformation: An Experimental Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Buried pipelines, used by petrochemical industries in North America for transporting oil and derivatives, are often subjected to large deformations resulting from geo-environmental factors and ...
Simulation of Crack Propagation in API 5L X52 Pressurized Pipes Using XFEM-Based Cohesive Segment Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The cohesive zone model (CZM) is one of the most widely used damage models to describe the fracture processes of brittle and ductile materials, and has been usually combined with the conventional finite-element method ...
