RISReinforced Concrete T-Beams Strengthened in Shear with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research studies the interaction of concrete, steel stirrups, and external fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets in carrying shear loads in reinforced concrete beams. A total of eight tests were conducted on four ...
Simplified Shear Design Method for Concrete Beams Strengthened with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified shear design method for reinforced concrete beams strengthened externally with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. This design method combines both the strip method and the shear friction ...
Modeling the Deformation Response of High Strength Steel Pipelines—Part I: Material Characterization to Model the Plastic Anisotropy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design equations for pipelines subjected to both internal pressure and longitudinal loading are based on the isotropic hardening plasticity model. However, high strength steel (HSS) pipelines ...
Modeling the Deformation Response of High Strength Steel Pipelines—Part II: Effects of Material Characterization on the Deformation Response of Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The material model proposed in Part I (Neupane et al. , 2012, “Modeling the Deformation Response of High Strength Steel Pipelines—Part I: Material Characterization to Model the Plastic Anisotropy,” ...

Fatigue Strength of Coped Steel Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To investigate the fatigue behavior of coped beams, nine full‐scale specimens are tested; stress range and cope radius were the two test parameters. It is found that the stress concentration effect produced by the cope ...
Cyclic Flexure Tests of Masonry Walls Reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The research work reported here investigates the out-of-plane flexural behavior of masonry walls reinforced externally with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets and subjected to cyclic loading. A full-scale test ...
Strengthening of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using FRPs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental program conducted at the University of Alberta showed that externally applied fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) are effective in increasing the load-carrying capacity of unreinforced masonry walls that are ...
Measurement and Characterization of the Initial Geometric Imperfections in High Strength U ing, O ing and Expanding Manufactured Steel Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The geometric imperfections in high strength Uing, Oing and expanding (UOE) manufactured pipes are investigated in this paper using a highresolution 3D surface scanner, and a reverse engineering and inspection software. ...
Numerical Investigation of Tearing Fracture of Wrinkled Pipe
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Steel pipelines, buried in cold regions, often respond to thermal strains and/or geotechnical movement caused by factors such as thaw settlement, frost heave, and slope instability. These complex ...
