(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )The need for an effective method for the restoration of corrosion-damaged reinforced-concrete elements cannot be overemphasized. In this investigation, the use of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) for external strengthening ... -
Compression Behavior of Square Pyramid Substructure of Novel Pultruded FRP-Aluminum Space Truss
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )To realize lightweight and corrosion resistance, a novel hybrid pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (PFRP)-aluminum space truss system is proposed, which adopts the pretightened teeth connections (PTTCs) and aluminum–bolt–ball ... -
Bond Behavior of CFRP-to-Steel Bonded Joints at Mild Temperatures: Experimental Study
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )The performance of steel structures strengthened with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rely heavily on the interfacial shear stress transfer mechanism of the FRP-to-steel bonded interface. Much is known ... -
Heat Activated SMA-CFRP Composites for Fatigue Strengthening of Cracked Steel Plates
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Many studies exist on carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthening of cracked steel details (e.g., cracks in riveted or welded bridge connections). The majority of these studies used CFRP sheets without prestressing. ... -
Effect of Load Eccentricity on the Mechanical Response of FRP-Confined Predamaged Concrete under Compression
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement is an effective way of enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete. However, currently, a model that can predict the mechanical response of eccentrically loaded FRP-confined ... -
Size Effect on FRP External Reinforcement and Retrofit of Concrete Structures
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The size effect on the strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams flexurally strengthened by surface bonded sheets of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is studied. As the failure is neither ductile nor brittle, but quasibrittle, ... -
Shear Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with Side-Bonded BFRP Grids
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )This study examined the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams that were strengthened with externally bonded composite reinforced mortar (CRM) layers consisting of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) grids and ... -
Effect of GFRP Reinforcement Ratio on the Strength and Effective Stiffness of High-Strength Concrete Columns: Experimental and Analytical Study
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )This paper reports the axial–flexural test results for 12 high-strength concrete (HSC) columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars to evaluate the implication of using HSC. The parameters were the ... -
Strengthening of In-Plane and Out-of-Plane Capacity of Thin Clay Masonry Infills Using Textile- and Fiber-Reinforced Mortar
