Abstract: In many situations, it is necessary to splice multiple layers of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates. The relatively low bond and shear strength of FRP layers usually necessitates long lap splices. In this ...

Abstract: Motivated by the need to improve oil well integrity for potential carbon capture and storage through

Abstract: Numerical analysis using a finite-element model was performed to simulate and investigate the long-term behavior of two RC beams with similar steel reinforcement, cast from the same batch of concrete. One beam was a plain ...

Abstract: The Brazilian tension test is the most common tension test used for concrete, with the advantage of simple setup. However, cracking in the Brazilian test takes place abruptly, which does not allow monitoring of postpeak ...
