Abstract: The use of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) has become common in many civil engineering applications, including prestressing applications. Glass FRP (GFRP) bars are less expensive than carbon FRP (CFRP) bars, but they have ...

Abstract: Strengthening of RC structures using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems is a popular rehabilitation technique because of its ease of installation and reduced construction time compared with other methods. Fabric-reinforced ...

Abstract: Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) as coarse aggregate in concrete has the potential to supplement current natural aggregate reserves, divert construction and demolition debris from landfills, and promote the adoption ...

Abstract: Bridges consisting of full-depth precast concrete deck panels connected to steel girders are an increasingly popular option for accelerated bridge replacement. In designing the shear connectors for this bridge type, fatigue ...

Abstract: An investigation was conducted on the flexural behavior of partially bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened concrete beams focusing on the improvement of ductility. An analytical model was developed based on ...

Abstract: The flexural behavior of RC T-beams strengthened with prestressed near-surface-mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced-polymer (CFRP) reinforcement was investigated. The specific objective was to study the effect of partial ...

Abstract: This paper presents a process management framework for multisensory data fusion for the purpose of tracking the progress of construction activity. The developed framework facilitates the required type of data fusion at any ...

Abstract: Sharing research data is necessary for collaboration within a research network and is required by funding agencies, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), that enforce the scientific method and ethics associated ...

Abstract: Increasing demand for the rapid and economical construction of bridges has encouraged engineers to use accelerated bridge construction through modular assembly. Full-depth, precast concrete decks connected to steel girders ...
