Abstract: A new kind of structural system, ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) shear walls reinforced with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) and steel bars, is proposed in this study. CFRP bars were used in the web region of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the fatigue behavior of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) beams prestressed with external carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons. Seven T-shaped beams were ...

Abstract: Summer monsoon precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has significant impacts on the ecology, economy, and Asian climate, but has exhibited anomalous spatial distribution since the early twenty-first century. To explore ...

Abstract: One of the main barriers to the acceptance and adoption of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in structural engineering is the brittle failure mode and limited ductility caused by the elastic-brittle behavior of FRP materials. ...

Abstract: The lightweight design of the sandwich mirror, as a commonly used space primary mirror structure, is one of the key topics for the design of space-based optomechanical systems. Owing to the limitation of traditional ...

Abstract: A comprehensive study on the fatigue behavior of stirrup free reactive powder concrete (RPC) beams prestressed with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons is presented in this paper. A total of six specimens were ...

Abstract: Many high-piled wharves were built in the last century, and some wharf members have been damaged over decades of operation. It is important to use effective means to evaluate the safety status and durability of these ...
