Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRP) are an attractive repair option for reinforced concrete structures, but whereas laboratory durability tests have indicated that FRP generally performs well in many environments, ...

Abstract: Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been successfully implemented to repair existing RC structures. Previous studies on the development of a reliability-based design method for externally bonded FRP have ...

Abstract: Parking garages are unique building structures in that they are often open to the environment and exposed to deicing chemicals, making them susceptible to deterioration, particularly through the corrosion of reinforcing ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the fatigue performance of RC beams strengthened with different externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems. Seven specimens were fabricated; ...

Abstract: Bridge expansion joints are a particularly troublesome component of bridges, and many DOTs are seeking maintenance solutions for deteriorating expansion joints. Bridge expansion joints create a break in the structural ...

Abstract: Civil engineering education must be updated to keep pace with the profession and move past a culture of disengagement where technical work is considered separate from societal impact. Civil engineering students need to ...

Abstract: Despite growing efforts, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have yet to address long-standing engineering participation disparities. Often, diversity and inclusion issues, along with other societal challenges, ...
