RISFatigue Performance of Ballastless Track Slabs Reinforced with BFRP and SFCB
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of this research was to evaluate the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar-reinforced ballastless track slab subjected to a fatigue loading. Five ballastless track slabs were experimentally ...
Effect of FRP Configurations on the Fatigue Repair Effectiveness of Cracked Steel Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The epoxy-bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) technique has been attracting more attention for repairing steel structures. In this paper, cracked steel plates repaired with FRP laminates were investigated with the finite ...
Seismic Behavior of Concrete Columns Reinforced by Steel-FRP Composite Bars
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel-fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bars (SFCBs) are a novel reinforcement for concrete structures. Because of the FRP’s linear elastic characteristic and high ultimate strength, they can achieve a stable postyield ...
Effect of Rubber Toughening Modification on the Tensile Behavior of FRP Composites in Concrete-Based Alkaline Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study focuses on the tensile behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in a concrete-based alkaline environment. Because basalt/glass FRP (BFRP/GFRP) composites exhibit relatively poor alkaline resistance ...
Shear Capacity Comparison of Four Different Composite Interfaces between FRP Plates and Concrete Substrate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mechanical performance of four types of interfaces between fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plate and concrete was compared by double-lap-shear test. The study found that the failure characteristics of the four interfaces ...
Mechanical Properties of Steel-FRP Composite Bar under Uniaxial and Cyclic Tensile Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a newly developed steel-fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bar (SFCB) and proposes the ideal configuration based on a large number of exploratory tests on handmade products. Based on factory ...
Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Strengthened with New Prestressed Carbon-Basalt Hybrid Fiber Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The prestressed fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening technique has been demonstrated to be an effective method to improve the effectiveness of FRP materials and the performance of the strengthened members under ...
Performance and Parametric Analysis of Flexural Strengthening for RC Beams with NSM-CFRP Bars
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The flexural strengthening of concrete structures by the near-surface-mounted (NSM) method has proven to be a reliable alternative to the existing externally bonded (EB) method using carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...
Confinement Effectiveness of FRP in Retrofitting Circular Concrete Columns under Simulated Seismic Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The results of a research program that evaluated the confinement effectiveness of the type and the amount of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) used to retrofit circular concrete columns are presented. A total of 17 circular ...
