RISProgressive Damage Analysis of Web Crippling of GFRP Pultruded I-Sections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded profiles are prone to web buckling and/or crushing when subjected to concentrated loads in the direction transverse to the pultrusion axis due to their low elastic and strength ...
Bond 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, ...
Direct Strength Method for Web-Crippling Design of Pultruded GFRP Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes, for the first time, a design methodology against the web-crippling failure of pultruded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) I-section beams, based on the direct strength method (DSM). This study took ...
Seismic Response of Three-Dimensional Pultruded GFRP Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the first seismic tests on a full-scale all-composite frame structure, constituted by pultruded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles, to the best of the authors’ knowledge. These tests were ...
Creep of Sandwich Panels with Longitudinal Reinforcement Ribs for Civil Engineering Applications: Experiments and Composite Creep Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Inspection Survey of Support Bearings in Road Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Support bearings have a very important role in the structural performance of bridges. As an integral part of the bridge, bearings must guarantee a service life that is compatible with that of the remaining bridge components. ...
Transverse Fracture Behavior of Pultruded GFRP Materials in Tension: Effect of Fiber Layup
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study about the transverse tensile fracture properties of several off-the-shelf pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials, with different fiber layups and geometries and ...
GFRP Composite Culverts for Hydraulic and Agricultural Underpasses: Structural Behavior, Design, and Application
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Corrugated steel-sheet culvert systems were extensively applied in the construction of hydraulic and agricultural highways underpasses from the 1980s until the beginning of the 21st century. Less than 30 years after being ...
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 ...
