Abstract: An experimental study on the flexural and shear behavior of the full-scale glue-laminated composite sandwich beams in three different layouts was conducted to evaluate the suitability of this construction system for railway ...

Abstract: External posttensioning can be considered an effective strengthening method for bridge members, which are deteriorating due to extreme loading conditions and progressive structural aging. The effects of existing shear ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich systems as primary load-bearing elements are relatively new concepts in lightweight civil infrastructure. These systems offer a combination of light weight, high strength, thermal ...
