Abstract: In fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened steel structures, debonding of the bonded FRP reinforcement from the steel substrate may result from adhesion failure at the steel/adhesive interface or the FRP/adhesive ...

Abstract: A numerical method, with which experimental results were processed, was adopted to measure the total emissivity of mild steel specimens at high temperatures. This method is derived from considering the transient thermal ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the environmentally assisted degradation of the bond between steel and carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites through analysis of the mechanical performance of loaded and unloaded steel/CFRP ...

Abstract: A heat transfer model for unprotected steel structural members was proposed in this study. The model accounts for both the variation of the steel emissivity during the fire growth and the view factor effect. The participation ...

Abstract: The implementation of reliability methods for designing new structures and assessing the safety and evaluating the performance of existing structures and infrastructure systems has gained widespread acceptance. Consequently, ...
