Abstract: This paper explores the effects of fiber orientation and ply mix on load–deformation behavior and failure modes of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) confined concrete by testing under uniaxial compression a designed array of ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to develop a new mechanistic understanding of moisture affected debonding failures in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plated concrete systems by mechanically testing accelerated moisture ...

Abstract: A new computer‐based approach to the problem of design of reinforced concrete columns that may be subjected to biaxial bending is presented. Previous approaches to the design of concrete columns (including those with biaxial ...

Abstract: The addition of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates bonded to the tension face of concrete girders is becoming an attractive solution to the rehabilitation and retrofit of damaged structural systems. Flexural strength ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to study the behavior of concrete under low‐cycle high amplitude biaxial cyclic compression. Biaxial loading was achieved by subjecting square concrete plates to in‐plane loading where ...

Abstract: Radar has the potential of becoming a powerful and effective tool for the nondestructive testing of concrete structures. An advancement of the method can be achieved through the understanding of the interaction between ...

Abstract: A rate‐independent constitutive model is proposed for the behavior of concrete in multiaxial cyclic compression. The material composite is assumed to experience a continuous damage process under load histories. The model ...

Abstract: A predictive model is developed for transient heat transfer analysis of structures with layered heterogeneous media. The model is particularly suited for the analysis of refractory concrete lined coal gasification and other ...

Abstract: The deformation properties of concrete significantly influence the behavior of complex concrete structures. These properties are subject to large variabilities and it is therefore not possible to accurately predict the ...

Abstract: Deformation and failure behavior of concrete is influenced by the characteristics of mortar‐aggregate interfaces. Recently, the interest in the study of the role of mortar‐aggregate interfaces in material behavior has ...
