Abstract: The technique of externally bonding fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has become very popular worldwide for retrofitting existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Debonding of FRP from the concrete substrate ...

Abstract: The performance and emission characteristics of a single-cylinder two-stroke diesel engine fueled with direct injection of natural gas entrained with pilot diesel ignition enhancer have been ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new flat shell element for composite and reinforced concrete (RC) floor slabs subject to extreme loading conditions, accounting for the effects of geometric as well as material nonlinearities. A novel ...

Abstract: In this study, a new composite shear wall is proposed, which consists of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete cores embedded in the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns as boundary elements of concrete-filled ...
