Abstract: This research investigates the feasibility of using prestressed glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars for enhancing the in-plane shear strength of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. In this application, URM walls were ...

Abstract: Because of the premature debonding of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials that results in a reduction in ductility, the problem of how to exploit moment redistribution (MR) in FRP-strengthened continuous reinforced ...

Abstract: Ensemble forecasting is increasingly accepted as a powerful tool to improve early warnings for high-impact weather. Recently, ensembles combining forecasts from different systems have attracted a considerable level of ...
