RISExperimental Study of Circular RC Columns Strengthened with Longitudinal CFRP Composites under Eccentric Loading: Comparative Evaluation of EBR and EBROG Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites has been promoted successfully for strengthening or repairing concrete structural members. However, if a column member is strengthened with longitudinal FRP ...
Efficiency of Externally Bonded L-Shaped FRP Laminates in Strengthening Reinforced-Concrete Interior Beam-Column Joints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the efficiency of externally bonded L-shaped fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates in strengthening seismically damaged reinforced concrete (RC) interior joints. Ten ½-scale interior beam-column ...
Flexural Retrofit of Support Regions of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Anchored FRP Ropes Using NSM and ETS Methods under Reversed Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many studies have been carried out on enhancing the positive moment capacity of the midspan areas of RC beams with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement under monotonic increasing loads. The present study focuses ...
Durability of Hybrid Composite Beam Bridges Subjected to Various Environmental Conditioning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hybrid composite beam (HCB) is a novel idea that combines conventional construction materials (i.e., steel and concrete) with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in a new configuration. This hybridization ...
Experimental Investigation of Reinforced Concrete T-Beams Strengthened in Shear with Externally Bonded CFRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental investigation was undertaken into the effectiveness of unanchored and anchored externally bonded (EB) U-wrapped carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) shear strengthening for reinforced concrete T-beams at ...
Progressive Damage Analysis of Web Crippling of GFRP Pultruded I-Sections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded profiles are prone to web buckling and/or crushing when subjected to concentrated loads in the direction transverse to the pultrusion axis due to their low elastic and strength ...
Shake Table Tests of Large-Scale Substandard RC Frames Retrofitted with CFRP Wraps before Earthquakes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large number of substandard reinforced concrete (RC) frames exist in potential earthquake regions across the world. These frames are at high risk of collapse during possible strong earthquakes in the future. In order to ...
Beam-Testing Method for Assessment of Bond Performance of FRP Bars in Concrete under Tension–Compression Reversed Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a novel beam-testing method to assess the bond performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced-concrete resisting systems subjected to tension–compression reversed cyclic loading. Special ...
Numerical Evaluation of Pin-Bearing Strength for the Design of Bolted Connections of Pultruded FRP Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents finite-element predictions for the strength of a pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) material subjected to pin-bearing loading with hole clearance. One of the distinct modes of failure in steel ...
Experimental Study of Fatigue Flexural Performance of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Hybrid GFRP and Steel Bars
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concrete beams reinforced with a combination of steel and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars exhibit promising strength, serviceability, and durability. The fatigue performance of concrete beams with hybrid ...
