Abstract: In this paper, a formulation based on the moment–curvature diagrams was proposed to calculate the effective flexural stiffness (EFS) of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete (RC) beam members. A parametric ...

Abstract: This paper uses nonlinear analysis to determine the impact of corrosion-induced damage on the load-carrying capacity of prestressed concrete bridge girders. The analyses rely on two types of models, namely, beam models and ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a computational simulation scheme to describe the intrusion of corrosion-inducing chloride ions in prestressed bridge girders. This phenomenon impacts the durability of bridges in coastal zones or ...
