RISComposite Action and Adhesive Bond between Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bridge Decks and Main Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the behavior of hybrid girders consisting of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks adhesively connected to steel main girders. Two large-scale girders were experimentally investigated at the ...
Long-Term Compression Performance of a Pultruded GFRP Element Exposed to Concrete Pore Water Solution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A durability study was performed on a pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) compression element of a hybrid GFRP/steel joint for concrete structures. GFRP elements were immersed in alkaline pore water solutions ...
Fire Performance of Water-Cooled GFRP Columns. II: Postfire Investigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The postfire mechanical performances of water-cooled full-scale GFRP cellular columns subjected to axial compression were evaluated after exposure to an ISO-834 fire from one side for periods of 60 and 120 mins. The elastic ...
Shear Failure of Pultruded Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites under Axial Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When structural elements are subjected to compressive loads, the shear forces and stresses induced by second-order effects may lead to shear failure prior to compressive failure. This is particularly likely to occur in the ...
Pull-Out Behavior of CFRP Single-Strap Ground Anchors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pull-out experiments were performed on four carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors simulating their applications in rock and soil. The CFRP tendons used in these anchors comprise a single-strap end on both ...
Tension Chord Model Modification for Uniaxial Unloading and Reloading in Elastic and Plastic States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The bond properties between concrete and steel reinforcement influence structural stiffness and deformation behavior as a result of tension stiffening. In specific cases, the load-bearing capacity of engineering structures ...
Erratum for “Tension Chord Model Modification for Uniaxial Unloading and Reloading in Elastic and Plastic States” by Robert Koppitz, Albin Kenel, and Thomas Keller

Long-Term Performance of a Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Truss Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the summer of 2005, after eight years of use as a temporary bridge during the winter, the Pontresina Bridge for pedestrians was transported to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne for a detailed assessment ...
Structural Concept, Design, and Experimental Verification of a Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sandwich Roof Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports on the design and construction of a lightweight glass fiber-reinforced polymer roof structure in Basel, Switzerland. The sandwich construction allowed for an integration of static, building physical and ...
Multifunctional Hybrid GFRP/Steel Joint for Concrete Slab Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A multifunctional hybrid glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)/steel joint has been developed for the transfer of compression and shear forces in thermal insulation sections of concrete slab structures used in building ...
