(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Textile reinforced mortars (TRM) and thermal insulating materials are integrated in a new system for structural (including seismic) and energy retrofitting of masonry. The proposed system is investigated experimentally by ... -
Static and Fatigue Performance of FRCM-Strengthened Concrete Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites represent a new technique for strengthening concrete and masonry structures. Various studies confirm the efficiency of FRCM systems in terms of ultimate capacity gain, ... -
Bond Durability of Carbon Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Tendons Embedded in High-Strength Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The structural performance of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) pretensioned structures is controlled by the bond between the CFRP tendons and concrete. The bond strength of CFRP sand-coated tendons can be affected ... -
Axially Loaded RC Walls with Cutout Openings Strengthened with FRCM Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Upgrading existing buildings to new functional requirements may require new openings that can weaken the structure, prompting the need for strengthening. In such cases traditional strengthening solutions, such as creating ... -
In-Plane Strengthening of Clay Brick and Block Masonry Walls Using Textile-Reinforced Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study evaluates the use of a composite material composed of multiaxial hybrid glass-fibers and polypropylene fabric coated in a hydraulic lime-based mortar (referred to as textile-reinforced mortar) to improve the ... -
Experimental Comparison of Novel CFRP Retrofit Schemes for Realistic Full-Scale RC Beam–Column Joints
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Existing RC moment-resisting frames (MRF) built with inadequate detailing or before the introduction of detailed seismic design codes (pre-197s) are highly vulnerable to brittle failure mechanisms under earthquake loading. ... -
FRP–Concrete Bond after 12-Year Exposure in Tidal Waters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The Friendship Trail Bridge linking St. Petersburg to Tampa, Florida, was demolished in 216. This was the site of 13 fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) repairs of corroding reinforced concrete piles undertaken in three separate ... -
Shear Retrofitting of Corner 3D-Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints Using Externally Bonded CFRP Reinforcement on Grooves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Beam-column joints are fundamental structural components to provide stability to a concrete frame. Compared to other types of joint, corner joints are more susceptible to failure due to their smaller size and inferior ... -
Finite-Element Analysis and Strength Model for IC Debonding in FRP-Strengthened RC Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Intermediate crack (IC) debonding is one of the most dominant failure modes associated with reinforced concrete beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates. To obtain a better understanding of the mechanism ... -
CFRP-Strengthened HSS Columns Subject to Eccentric Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates are widely used in strengthening reinforced concrete slabs, beams, and columns. However, the application of this advanced composite material to strengthen steel structures ... -
