ASCE 41 Seismic Assessment of FRP-Repaired Concrete Columns
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Current standards establish methods for seismic assessment and objectives for retrofit of existing building structures and provide guidance for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-based seismic retrofit measures for existing ... -
Durability Assessment of 15- to 20-Year-Old GFRP Bars Extracted from Bridges in the US. I: Selected Bridges, Bar Extraction, and Concrete Assessment
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars have been used in concrete structures as an alternative to steel bars due to their noncorrosive behavior. However, due to the lack of full understanding of long-term performance, ... -
Concrete Floor with GFRP-Embedded I-Beams and Stay-in-Place Structural Forms
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)This paper introduces a new concrete floor concept comprising embedded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) I-beams and GFRP stay-in-place (SIP) structural forms spanning between the lower flanges of the I-beams. The forms ... -
Confinement Properties of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Circular Columns under Simulated Seismic Loading
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Columns in earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete (RC) structures need to be adequately confined to provide satisfactory levels of stability and deformability. In circular RC columns, confinement can be provided by spirals ... -
Development Length of Small-Diameter Basalt FRP Bars in Normal- and High-Strength Concrete
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Small-diameter fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have great potential in certain applications, such as concrete sandwich panels, ties, and shear connectors. In this study, the development lengths (Ld) of basalt FRP (BFRP) ... -
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars for Concrete Structures: State-of-the-Practice in Australia
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The harsh Australian environment makes the use of steel reinforcement in concrete structures problematic on account of corrosion. The probability of corrosion damage will significantly increase in the years to come and ... -
Development and Validation of a Testing Procedure for Determining Tensile Strength of Bent GFRP Reinforcing Bars
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The current study aims to develop and standardize laboratory and on-site testing procedures to determine the tensile strength of bent glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars for quality control and quality assurance ... -
Design of Marine Dock Using Concrete Mixed with Seawater and FRP Bars
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)This paper discusses the design of a marine dock in Miami, Florida reconstructed after sustaining damage from Hurricane Irma in 2017. This pioneering structure implements accelerated bridge construction methods using ... -
Method to Identify Stress–Strain Relationship of FRP-Confined Concrete under Eccentric Load
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The stress–strain relationship of concrete is different under different boundary conditions, load paths, and environments. Identification of the stress–strain relationship of concrete for different structures and design ... -
Finite-Element Analysis of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Slab­–Column Edge Connections Subjected to Reversed-Cyclic Lateral Loads
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)A series of finite-element analyses for slab–column edge connections reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement and subjected to reversed-cyclic lateral load is conducted and discussed. A three-dimensional ... -
Effect of FRP Spike Anchor Installation Quality and Concrete Repair on the Seismic Behavior of FRP-Strengthened RC Columns
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) to repair and seismically strengthen existing deficient or damaged structural elements is now widespread. FRP anchors have become an important component of such FRP strengthening. ... -
Out-of-Plane Retrofit of Masonry with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer and Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix Systems: Normalized Interaction Diagrams and Effects on Mechanisms Activation
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Nowadays retrofitting and strengthening of masonry buildings are important challenges for structural engineering to ensure the structural safety under seismic or exceptional loads. This paper aims to clarify the effects ... -
Axial Behavior of PET FRP-Confined Reinforced Concrete
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)In reinforced concrete (RC) columns, the efficiency of confinement that is provided by fiber–reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is usually limited by the buckling of longitudinal steel bars. This situation is even more ... -
Behavior of Large-Scale Hybrid FRP-Concrete-Steel Multitube Concrete Columns under Axial Compression
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The combined use of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube with steel and concrete to form hybrid structural members has attracted increasing research attention. Hybrid FRP-concrete-steel multitube concrete columns (MTCCs) ... -
Effective Flexural Stiffness of Beams Reinforced with FRP Bars in Reinforced Concrete Moment Frames
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)In this paper, a formulation based on the moment–curvature diagrams was proposed to calculate the effective flexural stiffness (EFS) of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete (RC) beam members. A parametric ... -
Behavior and Modeling of Circular Large Rupture Strain FRP-Confined Ice under Axial Compression
