Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) beams and slabs are frequently strengthened or stiffened in flexure by adhesively bonding fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates to their surfaces using a strain-based moment-curvature design ...

Abstract: This study presents an experimental investigation of the effect of environmental exposure on the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) to clay brick masonry bond when the reinforcement is near-surface-mounted. Three alternate ...

Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...

Abstract: In general, steel-reinforced concrete involves a ductile steel material and a very strong and ductile bond between the steel reinforcement and concrete, so that debonding rarely governs the design. In contrast, fiber-reinforced ...
