Abstract: An experimental study of the effect of plate slenderness ratio and column slenderness ratio on the collapse load of simply supported stiffened plates with initial imperfections, loaded in compression, is presented. A ...

Abstract: Their resistance to electro-chemical corrosion, high strength-to-weight ratio, larger creep strain, fatigue resistance, and nonmagnetic and nonmetallic properties make carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites a ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bridge deck panels are high-strength, corrosion resistant, weather resistant, etc., making them attractive for use in new construction or retrofit of existing bridges. This study ...
