Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) composites are used as supplementary reinforcement to increase the in-plane shear capacity or to provide out-of-plane load-carrying capability of masonry walls and to modify the collapse ...

Abstract: In this paper, the behavior of concrete under static and fatigue compressive load is studied. Cylindrical specimens were subjected to static cyclic and constant amplitude fatigue loading. The static cyclic tests were ...

Abstract: The primary focus of this paper is to develop an understanding of temperature changes introduced by hydration heat release in the first few hours after casting in the thermal movements and stresses of the concrete deck and ...

Abstract: Torsion tests have been used to evaluate the shear response of concrete. The complete load-deformation response of unnotched concrete specimens subjected to torsion is difficult to obtain because of test instabilities. In ...

Abstract: In this paper cyclic quasi-static and constant amplitude fatigue responses of concrete subjected tensile compression–tension

Abstract: The debonding mode of failure, which is observed in girders strengthened using externally attached fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets, is studied in this paper. A numerical analysis of the direct-shear response of FRP ...

Abstract: In this paper, the influence of ultrafine fly ash on the early age property development, shrinkage, and shrinkage cracking potential of concrete is investigated. In addition, the performance of ultrafine fly ash as cement ...

Abstract: The NSF-sponsored Center for Advanced Cement-Based Materials is actively involved in research aimed at the development of technologies for health monitoring and nondestructive evaluation of the concrete infrastructure. ...
