RISDamage of Colliding Concrete Cubes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent failures of breakwaters have been attributed to low impact strength of armor blocks. The simultaneous loss of individual weight and interlocking ability that follows failure of slender units rekindled the interest ...
Influence of External Compressive Stresses on the Performance of GFRP-to-Concrete Interfaces Subjected to Aggressive Environments: An Experimental Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite the fact that fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are a reliable structural material with reasonable durability performance, the environment to which the strengthened structure is exposed can make the ...
A Simple Method for the Determination of the Bond-Slip Model of Artificially Aged Joints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The durability of adhesively bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and concrete substrates has been the subject of recent studies. The degradation of bonded interfaces conjugated with other factors that affect the interface ...
Composites and FRP-Strengthened Beams Subjected to Dry/Wet and Salt Fog Cycles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon (CFRP) and glass (GFRP) fiber-reinforced composites of epoxy matrix are considered in the study, with greater emphasis on GFRP. Accelerated conditioning was imposed in the form of salt fog cycles, hygrothermal cycles ...
Influence of GFRP Confinement of Reinforced Concrete Columns on the Corrosion of Reinforcing Steel in a Salt Water Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper concentrates on the changes on the corrosion rate of the steel bars of RC columns due to their wrapping with glass fiber–reinforced polymers (GFRPs). RC cylindrical laboratorial specimens, both unwrapped and ...
