Abstract: Abstract First-generation structural design standards for pultruded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials are now available in North America and Europe. The orthotropic nature of pultruded GFRP (pGFRP) makes it ...

Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...

Abstract: Steel coupling beams have emerged as a viable alternative to conventionally and diagonally reinforced concrete coupling beams because of their superior energy-dissipation characteristics, smaller member depth, and ease of ...

Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the combined effects of shear strengthening and anchorage provided by carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps in reinforced concrete beams strengthened in flexure using externally ...

Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) grid–reinforced engineered cementitious composites (ECC) have been developed as an alternative to epoxy resin–based FRP plates for the strengthening of concrete structures. To broaden ...
