Experimental Evaluation of CFRP-Concrete Bond Behavior under High Loading Rates Using Particle Image Velocimetry Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate bond behavior between fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and concrete substrate in externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) systems subject to static loads. However, few ... -
Effect of Interfacial Bond on Plastic Hinge Length of FRP-Confined RC Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Structural retrofitting by wrapping with fiber reinforced–polymer (FRP) laminates can effectively increase the ductility of RC columns. The effect of the FRP-to-concrete interfacial bond on the behavior of FRP-confined RC ... -
Strength and Deformability Aspects of Circular Concrete Members Reinforced with Hybrid Carbon-FRP and Glass-FRP under Flexure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Although the flexural behavior of fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) reinforced-concrete (RC) members has been the focus of many studies in recent years, no research work has examined such behavior in FRP-RC members with ... -
Experimental Study on RC Walls with Opening Strengthened by Externally Bonded CFRP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)RC walls with an opening under eccentric axial loads exhibit cracks around the opening leading to a reduction in the ultimate strength of the wall. These cracks are mainly due to changes in the load path within the wall ... -
Long-Term Durability of FRP Bond in the Midwest United States for Externally Strengthened Bridge Components
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this study, the bond strength of a typical FRP system subjected to long-term natural weathering in the midwest United States is experimentally investigated, and the rate of degradation is estimated. To do this, the bond ... -
Analytical Study on the Torsional Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRCM Composite
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this study, an analytical approach was used to predict the full torsional response of RC beams strengthened with externally bonded fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composite. The analytical model was based ... -
Axial Behavior of Columns with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite Shells and Syntactic Foam Core
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Syntactic foams (hollow glass macrospheres bonded with a polymer matrix) encased in glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite shells have the potential to enhance structural performance and energy absorption. To ... -
Effects of Midlayer Used in FRP Confinement of RC Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) composites are widely used currently as strengthening materials for the repair and strengthening of important elements of concrete structures, especially columns. This study investigated the ... -
Empirical FRP-Concrete Bond Strength Model for Externally Bonded Reinforcement on Grooves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In recent years, the grooving method in the form of “externally bonded reinforcement on groove” (EBROG) has been introduced as an alternative method of the conventional externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) for strengthening ... -
Seismic Retrofit of Joints of a Full-Scale 3D Reinforced Concrete Frame with FRP Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Postearthquake reconnaissance studies show that the beam-column joints of substandard reinforced concrete buildings (particularly the corner joints) may fail to resist the demanded forces and deformations under severe ... -
Sprayed Glass Fiber–Reinforced Mortar with or without Basalt Textile Reinforcement for Jacketing of Low-Strength Concrete Prisms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The external jacketing method using cement-based matrices and textile reinforcement has gained popularity for the enhancement of strength and ductility characteristics of reinforced concrete members. In this study, glass ... -
Stress–Strain Relation of FRP-Confined Predamaged Concrete Prisms with Square Sections of Different Corner Radii Subjected to Monotonic Axial Compression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the behavior of predamaged concrete prisms that were strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets. Tests were conducted on 46 concrete columns involving ... -
Flexural Behavior of Steel Fiber–Reinforced Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Beams Reinforced with Glass Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Bars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Nine beams reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and one reinforced with steel rebars fabricated using high-strength lightweight aggregate concrete (HSLC) were tested under four-point bending with ... -
Effect of Small Concrete Cover on the Fatigue Behavior of GFRP Bars and Concrete Bond
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The paper deals with the influence of cyclic loading on the bond between glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and concrete. The experimental study considers eccentric and centric pullout tests that vary by three ... -
Progressive Collapse Resistance of GFRP-Strengthened RC Beam–Slab Subassemblages in a Corner Column–Removal Scenario
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In RC buildings, the unexpected sudden failure of a corner column is more likely to cause severe progressive collapse than the failure of an interior column or a side column due to the relatively weak tie force from the ... -
Polyurethane-FRP External Strengthening of RC Beams with No Steel Stirrups
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Externally bonded (EB) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are an effective means for the strengthening of shear-deficient reinforced concrete flexural members. Previous studies have predominantly employed epoxy-based ... -
Effect of Beam Depth on Shear Behavior of FRP RC Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The behavior of shear critical fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) RC elements is characterized by the development of comparatively large strains and crack widths, which can be strongly influenced by their relative geometrical ...
