Fatigue Performance of Furfuryl Alcohol Resin Fiber-Reinforced Polymer for Structural Rehabilitation
(ASCE, 2020)One promising polymer replacement to conventional petroleum-derived resins in fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) is furfuryl alcohol (FA) resin, which is a thermosetting resin derived from agricultural byproducts. In this ... -
Axial Impact Behavior of FRP-Confined Concrete Stub Columns with Square and Circular Cross Section
(ASCE, 2020)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping has been shown to be very effective in enhancing the static loading capacity of reinforced concrete columns. However, the impact performance of FRP-confined square concrete columns ... -
Numerical Modeling and Performance Assessment of FRP-Strengthened Full-Scale Circular-Hollow-Section Steel Columns Subjected to Vehicle Collisions
(ASCE, 2020)Axial load-bearing structural members often experience significant damage or failure when subjected to moving-vehicle or vessel collisions. Hollow steel tubular columns are highly vulnerable under transverse impact loading. ... -
Effect of Freeze–Thaw Cycles on FRP-Concrete Bond Strength in EBR and EBROG Systems
(ASCE, 2020)The effects of freeze–thaw cycles on the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-to-concrete bond strength were investigated using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. For this purpose, 18 specimens were prepared, including ... -
Effect of Different Constituent Fiber, Resin, and Sizing Combinations on Alkaline Resistance of Basalt, Carbon, and Glass FRP Bars
(ASCE, 2020)When used as an internal reinforcement, fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) composite bars are exposed to a highly alkaline (pH > 12.5) concrete environment. This study evaluated the durability of 24 types of FRP bars in a ... -
Circular Concrete Columns and Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars and Spirals under Axial, Eccentric, and Flexural Loading
(ASCE, 2020)Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has been considered as a replacement for the traditional steel reinforcement, mainly due to its corrosion resistance. In this paper, a total of 13 concrete columns and ... -
Flexural Behavior of New Hybrid Profiled Steel-FRP T-Beams Filled with Concrete: Development and Validation
(ASCE, 2020)This study presents an innovative hybrid profiled steel- and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete (HPSFRC) structural system that primarily consists of thin semiclosed T-shaped cold-formed steel sheeting that ... -
C-FRCM Jacket Confinement for RC Columns under Impressed Current Cathodic Protection
(ASCE, 2020)In coastal regions, chloride penetration causes steel reinforcing bar (rebar) corrosion in reinforced concrete structures, leading to durability problems in existing structures. A new intervention method, impressed current ... -
Optimization of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Patches for Repairing Fatigue Cracks in Steel Plates Using a Genetic Algorithm
(ASCE, 2020)A practical design optimization of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) patches for repairing fatigue cracks in metallic structures is presented. The design procedure combines finite-element (FE), genetic programming (GP), and ... -
Alternative Approaches to Predict Shear Strength of Slender RC Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Laminates
(ASCE, 2020)The method provided in ACI 440.2R for predicting the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) gives conservative estimates of shear capacity due to its inability ... -
Flexural Behavior of Basalt Fiber–Reinforced Concrete Slab Strips with BFRP Bars: Experimental Testing and Numerical Simulation
(ASCE, 2020)This study investigated the flexural behavior of a new one-way concrete slab system reinforced longitudinally with basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars and cast with basalt fiber–reinforced concrete (BFRC). The study ... -
Width Effect in FRP–Concrete Debonding Mechanism: A New Formula
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents the results of an experimental work aimed at determining the effect of the width of a steel fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite on the load-carrying capacity of a composite–concrete interface. ... -
GFRP Shear Reinforcement for Slab-Column Edge Connections Subjected to Reversed Cyclic Lateral Load
(ASCE, 2020)In regions of high seismic activity, flat plate systems can be used as gravity force resisting systems, where special moment frames are provided as seismic force resisting systems. Nevertheless, all elements of the reinforced ... -
FRP-Confined Square Concrete Columns with Section Curvilinearization under Axial Compression
(ASCE, 2020)Existing studies have shown that fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing/wrapping is highly effective in strengthening circular concrete columns but is much less effective for rectangular/square concrete columns due to ... -
