RISMeasurement of the Timoshenko Shear Stiffness. I: Effect of Warping
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite beams are increasingly finding use in construction. Due to their lower stiffness relative to steel sections, the design of FRP structures is usually deflection controlled. Furthermore, ...
Measurement of the Timoshenko Shear Stiffness. II: Effect of Transverse Compressibility
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This is the second of two papers devoted to the issue of measuring the Timoshenko shear stiffness of thin-walled composite beams. In the first paper, the effect of warping on the effective Timoshenko shear stiffness, as ...
The Thermo-Viscoelastic, Viscoplastic Characterization of Vetrotex 324∕Derakane 510A-40 Through Tg
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The increased use of fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs) in ship topside structures necessitates the need to understand how such structures respond to fire exposure. For this reason we have ...
Evaluation of In-Service Performance of Tom’s Creek Bridge Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Superstructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Tom’s Creek Bridge is a small-scale demonstration project involving the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite girders as the main load-carrying members. The project is intended to serve two purposes. First, ...
A Metric for Characterization of Multifunctional Fuel Cell Designs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The U.S. Army has investigated a variety of multifunctional designs in order to achieve system level mass and/or volume savings. One of the multifunctional devices developed is the multifunctional ...
Relaxation of Proton Conductivity and Stress in Proton Exchange Membranes Under Strain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stress relaxation and proton conductivity of Nafion 117 membrane (N117-H) and sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymer membrane with 35% sulfonation (BPSH35) in acid forms were ...
Laboratory and Field Performance of Cellular Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite Bridge Deck Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the laboratory and field performance of multicellular fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bridge deck systems produced from adhesively bonded pultrusions. Two methods of deck contact loading were ...
Development and Evaluation of an Adhesively Bonded Panel-to-Panel Joint for a FRP Bridge Deck System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite cellular deck system was used to rehabilitate a historical cast iron thru-truss structure (Hawthorne St. Bridge in Covington, Va.). The most important characteristic of this ...
Design Recommendations for a FRP Bridge Deck Supported on Steel Superstructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: No appropriate provisions from either AASHTO Standard (2002) or AASHTO LRFD (2004) bridge design specifications are available for the design of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-deck-on-steel-superstructure bridges. In this ...
Conformable Tire Patch Loading for FRP Composite Bridge Deck
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly being used in bridge deck applications. However, there are currently only fledgling standards to design and characterize FRP deck systems. One area that should be ...
