A Recalibration of the Crack Width Bond-Dependent Coefficient for GFRP-Reinforced Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Serviceability requirements can often control the design of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP)-reinforced concrete flexural members due to the lower stiffness of GFRP than of steel. ACI Committee 440 crack control ... -
A Simple Method for the Determination of the Bond-Slip Model of Artificially Aged Joints
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The durability of adhesively bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and concrete substrates has been the subject of recent studies. The degradation of bonded interfaces conjugated with other factors that affect the interface ... -
Absorption of Aramid Prestressing Rods in Aggressive Solutions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) reinforcing bars are not prone to classical electrochemical corrosion. However, this material may suffer from other degradation mechanisms when exposed to moisture, alkaline, or acid solutions ... -
Accelerated Degradation of Recycled Plastic Piling in Aggressive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Fiber-reinforced polymer composites represent an alternative construction material without many of the performance disadvantages of traditional materials. The use of fiber-reinforced polymer as a pile material can eliminate ... -
Accelerated Hygrothermal Aging of Bond in FRP–Masonry Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper addresses the results of accelerated hygrothermal (coupled temperature and moisture) tests on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened clay bricks, aimed at investigating bond degradation mechanisms. The ... -
Acceptance Criteria for Tensile Characterization of Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix Systems for Concrete and Masonry Repair
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are a new class of materials used to repair and strengthen existing structures. Mechanical performance varies widely based on the type and volume of fibers, fabric ... -
Acoustic Emission Characterization of Damage in Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Rods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The development and testing of a pseudoductile hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer rod consisting of glass and carbon fibers is described. Two different hybrid forms were considered for the development of the hybrid rods, ... -
Acoustic Emission Damage Assessment of Steel/CFRP Bonds for Rehabilitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The use of adhesively bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates is increasingly being considered for the rehabilitation of metallic structures. The effective structural monitoring of steel/CFRP adhesive joints ... -
Actions for Verification of RC Structures with FRP Bars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The use of concrete reinforced with nonmetallic bars in composite materials, characterized by higher values of strength and by lower values of Young's modulus compared to steel, implies that the design of structures will ... -
Adhesively Bonded and Translucent Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sandwich Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)An experimental program has been carried out to investigate the structural behavior of adhesively bonded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich girders. The girders, conceivable for main spans up to 20 m, are ... -
