Modeling the Effect of FRP Sheets on the Behavior of Short Coupling Beams Exhibiting Diagonal Tension Failure
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Reinforced concrete (RC) coupling beams in pre-1970s coupled-wall structures often feature a small number of stirrups, and thus are susceptible to shear failure along inclined cracks. In short beams with a span-to-depth ... -
Low-Velocity Impact Load Testing of RC Beams Strengthened in Flexure with Bonded FRP Sheets
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )In this paper, which focuses on the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheet bonding method for improving the impact resistance of RC beams, low-velocity impact load tests are performed on RC beams strengthened with FRP sheets. ... -
Bond-Stress Distribution of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams Containing Seawater
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)Many regions are experiencing freshwater shortages, which is projected to worsen in the coming years. The concrete industry is one of the largest consumers of water worldwide, limiting water available for agriculture and ... -
Experimental Analysis of Shear Resisting Mechanisms in FRP RC Beams with Shear Reinforcement
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Owing to the unique mechanical characteristics and lack of plasticity of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs), relatively large strains can develop in FRP reinforced concrete (RC) elements at ultimate limit states and this can ... -
