Abstract: To quantify the effect of steel fibers on the stress-strain curve for high-strength concrete under compression, results of compression tests performed in the Magnel Laboratory, were used. Several series of concrete cylinders ...

Abstract: For a reliable and efficient design of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping reinforcement, an accurate stress–strain prediction of reinforced concrete (RC) columns confined with FRP composites is essential. The stress–strain ...

Abstract: The use of optical fiber sensors for monitoring civil engineering structures is increasing continuously. One of the most frequently applied sensor types is the so-called Bragg sensor, which is primarily used to measure ...
