Abstract: This paper examines the ability of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping to enhance the bond of corroded reinforcing steel bars in concrete. Thirty-two bond pullout specimens were considered. Test variables ...

Abstract: The effect of corrosion of properly anchored longitudinal reinforcement on the structural behavior of shear-critical RC slender beams was experimentally investigated. A total of 10 medium-scale reinforced concrete beams ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical studies carried out to investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with end-anchored partially bonded carbon fiber-reinforced ...

Abstract: Deterioration of reinforced concrete structures caused by corrosion of steel reinforcement is currently a major concern affecting the safety and functionality of our infrastructure. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental results of reinforced concrete beams strengthened using near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement. A total of nine beam specimens were tested under ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental and analytical results of a study conducted to investigate the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates to rehabilitate shear-span and full-span corrosion-damaged RC beams. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study conducted to investigate the effectiveness of different types of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composite systems to strengthen shear critical reinforced ...

Abstract: Although the use of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars is gaining acceptance as an alternative to conventional steel reinforcement in concrete structures, little empirical data exist on the long-term ...

Abstract: Deterioration of concrete structures caused by corrosion of steel reinforcement requires large capital investments in order to repair or replace existing structures which may or may not be nearing the end of their expected ...

Abstract: Widespread deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge structures due to corrosion of steel reinforcement has resulted in an increased use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars as an alternative ...
