Shear Behavior of Variable-Depth Concrete Beams with Wound Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Shear Reinforcement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A novel shear reinforcing system, wound fiber–reinforced polymer (W-FRP), that capitalizes on the flexibility of carbon fiber to create durable reinforcement cages for geometrically optimized concrete structures, is proposed ... -
Constitutive Model of Concrete Simultaneously Confined by FRP and Steel for Finite-Element Analysis of FRP-Confined RC Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a confined concrete material constitutive model for use in finite-element analysis, which is able to model accurately the combined confinement effect of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and internal steel ... -
Seismic Performance of Shear-Controlled CFRP-Strengthened High-Strength Concrete Square Columns under Simulated Seismic Load
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Ten high-strength shear-controlled square columns are constructed and seven of them are strengthened with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps. These columns are then tested under simulated seismic load at the ... -
Analytical Approach for Flexural Capacity of FRP Prestressed Concrete T-Beams with Non-Prestressed Steel Bars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Available flexural strength formulas mainly focus on rectangular concrete beams exclusively prestressed with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tendons. Moreover, an iterative procedure is required when FRP rupture governs the ... -

Integrity of CFRP–Concrete Interface in Sulfuric Acid
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents the interfacial behavior and deterioration mechanisms of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets bonded to a concrete substrate subjected to sulfuric acid based on a test protocol suggested by ... -
Cathodic Protection for Steel Beams Strengthened with CFRP Sheets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents the potential of cathodic protection for steel beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. A conceptual experimental program is conducted with 19 strengthened beams. Sacrificial ... -
Experimental Study and Numerical Modeling of Cyclic Bond–Slip Behavior of Basalt FRP Bars in Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study aims to explore the cyclic bond–slip behavior of basalt fiber-reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars. Experimental pullout tests under monotonic and cyclic loading patterns were conducted in order to examine the effect ... -
Acceptance Criteria for Tensile Characterization of Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix Systems for Concrete and Masonry Repair
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are a new class of materials used to repair and strengthen existing structures. Mechanical performance varies widely based on the type and volume of fibers, fabric ... -
Fatigue Assessment of Shear-Strengthened RC T-Beams with Externally Bonded CFRP Closed Stirrups
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Research studies on reinforced concrete T-beams shear strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (EB-CFRP) have shown that debonding at the CFRP–concrete interface is still a major concern. It is ... -
Experimental Behavior and Design of Exterior Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints Strengthened with Embedded Bars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Shear-deficient RC beam-column joints (BCJs) represent one of the main factors behind the seismic damage suffered by existing concrete infrastructure, as well as the associated loss of life. This study presents a novel ... -
Assessment of the Behavior of FRP-Strengthened RC Slabs Using a Discrete Crack Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a new discrete crack model that can simulate the complex behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. The model approximates the kinematics of crack openings ... -
Transverse Shear Testing of GFRP Bars with Reduced Cross Sections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Shear testing of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars can be considered for material specifications, quality control, quality assurance, and structural design purposes. ASTM and the Canadian Standards Association ... -
Concentrated and Distributed Plasticity Models for Seismic Repair of Damaged RC Bridge Columns
