Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer composites represent an alternative construction material without many of the performance disadvantages of traditional materials. The use of fiber-reinforced polymer as a pile material can eliminate ...

Abstract: There are considerable problems associated with the use of traditional piling materials in corrosive soils and marine environments. The durability of concrete, corrosion of steel, and vulnerability of timber piles to marine ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites represent an alternative construction material without many of the performance disadvantages of traditional materials. The use of FRP as a pile material can eliminate deterioration ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites represent an alternative construction material without many of the performance disadvantages of traditional materials. Although composite materials present a number of difficulties ...

Abstract: The fundamental premise of this research is that transparent synthetic materials with geotechnical properties similar to natural soils can be used in model tests to study three-dimensional deformation and flow problems ...

Abstract: Experimental models to measure spatial deformation patterns within a soil mass are typically limited by the fact that soil sensors do not provide a continuous image of the measured continuum. Additionally, soil sensors ...
