Abstract: Glass fiber‒reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are increasingly recognized as promising reinforcement options for seawater–sea sand concrete because of their chloride resistance. However, the internal alkalinity of concrete ...

Abstract: An elastic contact model for three-dimensional layered or coated materials under coupled normal and tangential loads, with consideration of partial slip effects, has been developed in this paper. ...

Abstract: A numerical approach for solving the fretting contact on coated or layered materials, with consideration of loading history, is presented in the paper. The fretting problem was solved by using ...

Abstract: The use of glass fiber‒reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in seawater–sea sand geopolymer mortars (SSGMs) for coastal engineering has gained significant traction because of the potential to enhance the utilization of noncorrosive ...

Abstract: Basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP), a composite material known for its cost-effectiveness and excellent resistance to chloride ion corrosion, combined with environmentally friendly geopolymer is expected to contribute ...
