Abstract: Currently, considerable interest exists in the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement for concrete structures. Due to the generally lower modulus of elasticity of FRP in comparison with steel and the linear ...

Abstract: The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) grid reinforcement for concrete slabs has been investigated, considering the behavior of the slabs in one-way bending and under concentrated loading. The behavior under the latter ...

Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is being used in high-rise buildings and industrial structures which may be subjected to high temperatures during operation or in case of an accidental fire. The proper understanding of the ...

Abstract: The comparatively weak performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened members under fire exposure is a primary factor hindering the application of FRP strengthening in buildings in which fire risk is not ...

Abstract: To investigate monitoring of concrete members by integrating fiber optic technology, a series of static and dynamic loading tests have been conducted on a posttensioned concrete girder with a span of
