Shear Span–Depth Ratio Effect on Behavior of RC Beam Shear Strengthened with Full-Wrapping FRP Strip
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Shear span-to-effective depth ratio (av/d) is known to affect the shear behavior of RC members. However, this effect has not been appropriately addressed in existing design guidelines for the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ... -
Sagging and Hogging Strengthening of Continuous Unbonded Posttensioned HSC Beams by NSM and EBR
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Continuous unbonded posttensioned concrete beams might require strengthening to cope with higher demands. Strengthening with carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) is a viable option; however, because of the limited number ... -
Experimental Study of Circular RC Columns Strengthened with Longitudinal CFRP Composites under Eccentric Loading: Comparative Evaluation of EBR and EBROG Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites has been promoted successfully for strengthening or repairing concrete structural members. However, if a column member is strengthened with longitudinal FRP ... -
Review of Current Design Guidelines for Circular FRP-Wrapped Plain Concrete Cylinders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)With the widespread use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in the construction sector as a strengthening technique, the development of design guidelines for the field application of externally bonded FRP systems ... -
Bond Properties of GFRP Laminate with Heat-Damaged Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Concrete, when exposed to elevated temperatures, undergoes deterioration and loses much of its strength. The strengthening of heat-damaged concrete is possible with the help of external reinforcing materials such as ... -
Influence of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets on the Constitutive Relationships of Reinforced Concrete Elements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) started to find its way as an economical alternative material in civil engineering in the early 1970s. The behavior and failure modes for FRP composite structures were studied through extensive ... -
