FRP U-Wrap Anchorage for Preventing Concrete Cover Separation: Experimental Study and Design Method
(ASCE, 2022/05/03)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems are commonly used in the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams. However, concrete cover separation (CCS) is one of the main debonding failure modes that negatively impact ... -
In-Plane Cyclic Performance of Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Flax Textile–Reinforced Mortar Overlays
(ASCE, 2022/06/24)This paper investigates the performance of flax textile–reinforced mortars (FTRM) as a retrofitting solution for unreinforced masonry. Six medium-scale walls were subjected to in-plane cyclic shear tests. Four of the ... -
The Effect of a Textile-Reinforced Mortar on the Flexural Response of Energy-Improved Infill Walls
(ASCE, 2022/06/23)The existing infilled reinforced concrete (RC) buildings’ poor energy performance is responsible for a significant part of the energy consumption in the European Union (EU). In addition, recent earthquakes showed the seismic ... -
Experimental and Analytical Study on Shear Performance of Embedded Through-Section GFRP-Strengthened RC Beams
(ASCE, 2022/06/23)The structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with embedded through-section (ETS) glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars is experimentally and analytically investigated. Three-point ... -
Uniaxial Compression Behavior of Short Square and Circular RC Piles Constructed with GFRP Bars and Spirals Preconditioned in Simulated Marine Environments
(ASCE, 2022-6-1)The current experimental investigation assessed the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) piles with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and spirals exposed to simulated marine environments. A total of 18 specimens—9 ... -
Data-Driven Flexural Stiffness Model of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Slender Columns
(ASCE, 2022-6-1)Predicting the nominal axial capacity of slender fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete (RC) columns is dependent majorly on their flexural stiffness. However, the current design provisions do not incorporate ... -
Mesh-Independent Framework for the Bidimensional Analysis of CFRP–Concrete Debonding Shear Tests with Discrete Fracture
(ASCE, 2022-6-1)The performance of concrete structures strengthened with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems can depend heavily on the bond strength of the interface between the concrete and the reinforced polymer. Even though ... -
