Design Equations for Concrete Bridge Decks with FRP Stay-in-Place Structural Forms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridge deck construction using stay-in-place (SIP) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structural forms has shown promise as an efficient, rapid, and low-waste alternative to conventional methods. Several studies have shown ...
Effect of Prestressing on the Performance of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridge Strips
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Deterioration of reinforced concrete structures caused by corrosion of steel reinforcement is currently a major concern affecting the safety and functionality of our infrastructure. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridge deck construction using stay-in-place (SIP) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structural forms has shown promise as an efficient, rapid, and low-waste alternative to conventional methods. Several studies have shown ...
Fatigue Behavior of GFRP Reinforcing Bars in Air and in Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although the use of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars is gaining acceptance as an alternative to conventional steel reinforcement in concrete structures, little empirical data exist on the long-term ...
Evaluation of FRP Posttensioned Slab Bridge Strips Using AASHTO-LRFD Bridge Design Specifications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Deterioration of concrete structures caused by corrosion of steel reinforcement requires large capital investments in order to repair or replace existing structures which may or may not be nearing the end of their expected ...
Fatigue Behavior of Full-Scale Slab Bridge Strips with FRP Reinforcement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Widespread deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge structures due to corrosion of steel reinforcement has resulted in an increased use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars as an alternative ...
Bond-Stress Distribution of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams Containing Seawater
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many regions are experiencing freshwater shortages, which is projected to worsen in the coming years. The concrete industry is one of the largest consumers of water worldwide, limiting water available for agriculture and ...
Empirical Design Equation for Compression Strength of Lightweight FRP Sandwich Panel Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A new empirical design approach is presented for predicting the compression strength of lightweight fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich panel columns. The model is simple enough to use for design purposes, yet it ...
Nondestructive Condition Assessment of Concrete Slabs with Artificial Defects Using Wireless Impact Echo
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The use of nondestructive testing (NDT) methods for the condition assessment of reinforced concrete structures is increasing due to the various advantages of NDT compared to traditional approaches, such as qualitative ...
Evaluation of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Members without Shear Reinforcement: Analysis Using Shear Crack Propagation Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Determination of the maximum shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and slabs has been a challenging task for over 100 years. Recently, the shear crack propagation theory (SCPT) was developed as a unified ...
