RISCyclic Performance of Square RC Bridge Columns Confined with Combined Steel and BFRP Ties
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a confining combination of steel and innovative rectangular basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) ties at the plastic hinge region on the seismic response of square reinforced concrete (RC) bridge ...
Effects of FRP-Concrete Interface Bond Properties on the Performance of RC Beams Strengthened in Flexure with Externally Bonded FRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets have been increasingly used as externally bonded reinforcements in the rehabilitation of concrete structures. The efficacy of the FRP bonding technology highly depends on the bond ...
Constitutive Model for Time-Dependent Behavior of FRP–Concrete Interface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fundamental understanding of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminate bonding behavior, including bond strength and effective bonding length, is of primary importance for the development of design guidelines and codes for ...
Evaluating and Proposing Models of Predicting IC Debonding Failure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Debonding failure due to intermediate crack-induced (IC) fracture is one of the most dominant failure modes associated with the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bonding technique. To date, extensive efforts have been paid ...
Parametric Estimation for RC Flexural Members Based on Distributed Long-Gauge Fiber Optic Sensors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Long-term monitoring on the degradation of concrete structures has been a major engineering concern in many parts of the world. On the basis of the distributed long-gauge fiber optic sensors recently developed at Ibaraki ...
Tension Stiffness Model for Cracked Reinforced Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is known that the consideration of tension stiffening effect resulting from bond slip between reinforcement and surrounding concrete is very effective for the deformation analysis of reinforced concrete members. In the ...
Evaluation of the Static and Dynamic Behaviors of Long-Span Suspension Bridges with FRP Cables
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To overcome the limitations of traditional long-span suspension bridges with steel cables, the mechanical behavior of suspension bridges with various fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and hybrid FRP cables have been investigated ...
Strain-Based Damage-Assessment Method for Bridges under Moving Vehicular Loads Using Long-Gauge Strain Sensing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Analytical Model for Shear Slip of Cracked Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analytical formulation of constitutive equations for a single crack is made, which relates the shear and normal stresses to the corresponding displacements. The modeling of four basic coefficients involved in the constitutive ...
Modeling of the Flexural Fatigue Capacity of RC Beams Strengthened with FRP Sheets Based on Finite-Element Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a three-dimensional finite-element analysis (FEA) was conducted to study the parameters that affect the maximum flexural fatigue capacity of RC beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. ...
