Chemical Resistance and Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber–Reinforced Plastic Pipes for Oil, Gas, and Power-Plant Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Glass fiber–reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite pipes are used in many diverse applications, including oil, gas, and power plants. These pipes are subjected to various harsh service conditions during their service life. ... -
Design and Construction Methods of Caisson-Type Maritime Infrastructures Using GFRP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Glass-fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) are commonly used in various applications in civil-engineering projects. However, they are not common in the construction of civil-marine structures. The GFRP caisson technology was ... -
Effect of Natural Weathering on Durability of Pultruded Glass Fiber–Reinforced Bridge and Building Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)After 17 and 15 years of use, respectively, a detailed inspection of a pedestrian bridge and a 5-story building structure composed of partly adhesively bonded pultruded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles ... -
Numerical Simulation of FRP-Jacketed RC Columns Subjected to Cyclic and Seismic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents a numerical model for the cyclic/seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns retrofitted with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confining jackets. Such a column model has previously been unavailable ... -
Modes of Failure in Shear Deficient RC T-Beams Strengthened with FRP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The effect of laminate thickness on crack pattern, mode of failure, and strength of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams wrapped with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates was studied experimentally ... -
Creep Behavior of Glubam and CFRP-Enhanced Glubam Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the creep behavior of glued laminated bamboo (glubam) and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP)-enhanced glubam beams. Short-term mechanical tests were first ... -
Bond of NSM FRP-Strengthened Concrete: Round Robin Test Initiative
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Despite the extensive research on the debonding behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening systems, no standard methodology has been established on its experimental characterization. To assess the performance ... -
Seismic Performance of GFRP-RC Exterior Beam–Column Joints with Lateral Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Six full-scale specimens were constructed and tested under reversal cyclic loading to study the seismic behavior of exterior glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column joints with lateral ... -
Flexural Strengthening of Structural Steel Angle Sections Using CFRP: Experimental Investigation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)An experimental study on the ultimate load behavior of steel angle sections reinforced with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is described in this paper. An approach of transforming the open-angle section to a closed ... -
Influence of Basalt FRP Mesh Reinforcement on High-Performance Concrete Thin Plates at High Temperatures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) mesh was introduced as reinforcement in high-performance concrete (HPC) thin plates (20–30 mm) for implementation in precast sandwich panels. An experimental program studied ... -
Seismic Strengthening of Masonry Vaults with Abutments Using Textile-Reinforced Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Innovative materials and technologies have been developed to limit the effects of earthquakes on structures, and the use of composite materials has been shown to be effective in existing buildings. In view of this background, ... -
Dilation Effects in FRP-Confined Square Concrete Columns Using Stone, Brick, and Recycled Coarse Aggregates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The axial capacity enhancement of square plain concrete columns due to fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrap is measured through experiments as a function of the fundamental dilation property of the parent concrete. To this ... -
