Abstract: Honeycomb fiber-reinforced polymer (HFRP) sandwich panels with sinusoidal core geometry have been used extensively for new construction and replacement of bridge decks. The core geometry used consists of large cavities and ...

Abstract: A combined analytical and experimental evaluation of flexural-torsional and lateral-distortional buckling of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite wide-flange (WF) beams is presented. Based on energy principles, the ...

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: An analytical study of local buckling of discrete laminated plates or panels of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) structural shapes is presented. Flanges of pultruded FRP shapes are modeled as discrete panels subjected to ...

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: This paper reports on research investigating a nongrouted sleeve-type connection used to attach fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) decks to steel girders. The connection system was investigated for stiffness, strength, fatigue ...

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 ...
