Axial Stress–Strain Model for FRCM Confinement of Masonry Columns
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Masonry columns often exhibit a lack of load-carrying capacity that is due to overloads and do not provide any ductility or dissipation capacity under seismic forces. Column confinement has been extensively studied as an ... -
Experimental Investigation of Short and Slender Rectangular Concrete Columns Reinforced with GFRP Bars under Eccentric Axial Loads
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )In this paper, the experimental behavior of short and slender concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars under eccentric compression loading is presented. A total of 10 large-scale concrete ... -
Analytical Model to Predict Dilation Behavior of FRP Confined Circular Concrete Columns Subjected to Axial Compressive Loading
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Experimental research and real-case applications are demonstrating that the use of fiber–reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials can be a solution to substantially improve circular cross section concrete columns in ... -
Strengthening of Lime Mortar Masonry Wallettes Using Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )The performance of fabric with lime mortar (LM) as the cementitious matrix was investigated for the strengthening of lime masonry wallettes, which were compared with the respective cement-based matrix. Based on the material ... -
Evaluation by Hybrid Simulation of Earthquake-Damaged RC Walls Repaired for In-Plane Bending with Single-Sided CFRP Sheets
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )The realistic seismic response of two damaged reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls repaired using externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets was evaluated using hybrid simulation. The CFRP repair used ... -
Fatigue Behavior of FRCM-Strengthened RC Beams
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are thin laminates of mortar that embody synthetic and mineral-based continuous fabrics. FRCM materials are proven to be an effective strengthening and rehabilitation ... -
Flexural Tests of Full-Scale Cast Iron Girders Reinforced with CFRP Plates to Investigate the Benefits of the Strengthening
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )This paper presents the results of the flexural testing to destruction of two cast iron girders preserved during the demolition of a railway bridge in Scotland. The 151-year-old girders were reinforced with ultrahigh modulus ... -
Predictive Framework for FRP-Concrete Corrosion Repair
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have been used for repairing chloride-induced corrosion in steel for more than 40 years. Since FRP is a barrier element, it cannot stop electrochemical reactions responsible for corrosion ... -
Generalized Evaluation of Bond Behavior of the Externally Bonded FRP Reinforcement to Concrete
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )This paper presents a generalized evaluation method for determining the bond slip relationship of an external reinforcement bonded to concrete based on the experimental global force versus the displacement curve. The ... -
Behavior of FRP-Confined Recycled Brick Aggregate Concrete under Monotonic Compression
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Brick waste is the second-largest source of China's construction and demolition waste. Reprocessing brick waste into recycled brick aggregate (RBA) to fabricate new concrete [i.e., recycled brick aggregate concrete (RBAC)] ... -
Alkali–Silica Reactivity of Sand Used in Sand-Coating Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars as Internal Reinforcement for Concrete
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )New guidelines require that sand particles used to provide a bond between the FRP reinforcing bars and concrete to be free of any expansion due to alkali–aggregate reactions. The current study aims at establishing the ... -
Steel-FRP Reinforced Concrete Moment-Resisting Frames under Lateral Loads: Numerical Investigation
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )This paper suggests using a combination of steel and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcements to introduce sustainable reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames (RC-MRFs) characterized by damage-controlled seismic ...
