Abstract: A methodology is introduced to estimate the strength of suspension bridge cables using results of tensile strength tests performed on wire samples extracted from the bridge’s main cables. The innovation of the proposed ...

Abstract: The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with a combination of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars and steel bars is investigated herein. Five hybrid BFRP and steel bar RC beams, one pure BFRP-RC beam, ...
