Abstract: The experimental results from reversed cyclic loading tests on 12 corner‐reinforced concrete beam‐column subassemblies are presented. The primary variables were the concrete compressive strength, ranging between 8.1 and ...

Abstract: The criterion set by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for the design of highway sign support structures is examined. It is shown that this requirement, limiting the maximum ...

Abstract: The static strength of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by gluing glass‐fiber‐reinforced‐plastic (GFRP) plates to their tension flanges is experimentally investigated. Five rectangular beams and one T‐beam were tested ...

Abstract: The design of highway sign support structures is governed by the AASHTO Specifications which limit the dead load deflection of the beam to

Abstract: Analytical models based on the compatibility of deformations and equilibrium of forces are presented to predict the stresses and deformations in concrete beams strengthened with fiber composite plates epoxy‐bonded to the ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental and analytical study of the behavior of damaged or understrength concrete beams retrofitted with thin carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) sheets are presented. The CFRP sheets are epoxy ...

Abstract: The results of field tests for two monotube highway sign support structures with spans of 60 and 100 ft are presented. The intent of the study was to compare field measurements with previously conducted analytical results, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental studies on reinforced concrete columns strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites under the combination of axial load and bending moment. A total of ...
