Abstract: The local bond mechanics of glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in normal strength concrete was investigated through experimental testing and analytical modeling. The experimental program was comprised of 30 direct ...

Abstract: Results from 50 bond tests conducted using the so-called direct tension pullout specimen type are presented. Anchorages of steel bars with machined deformations were tested so as to enable a targeted study of the effect ...

Abstract: Experiments on deformed reinforcing bar anchorages developed in strain-resilient cementitious composites (SRCCs) with high tensile deformation capacity illustrate that the bar-matrix assembly may respond in a ductile manner ...

Abstract: Design requirements for development length of lap-spliced reinforcing bars in concrete refer to the associated rules for anchorage, practically treating the two problems as one. This was based on the empirical observation ...

Abstract: The efficacy of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement as a means of repairing/strengthening reinforced concrete members with nonductile details is explored in this paper with particular emphasis on the interaction ...
