RISCarbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Seismic Retrofit of RC Bridge Bent: Design and In Situ Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analysis and design procedures are presented for a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite seismic retrofit of a reinforced concrete (RC) three-column bridge bent. The CFRP jacket was designed using performance-based ...
Predicting Corrosion-Related Bridge Durability with Laboratory-Measured Permeability Results
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Testing, Analysis, and Evaluation of a GFRP Deck on Steel Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: North Carolina has recently installed a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) deck on steel girders at a site in Union County. The bridge was instrumented with foil strain gauges, strain transducers, and displacement transducers. ...
Torsional Strengthening of Spandrel Beams with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Laminates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research has shown that fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites can increase flexural, axial, and shear capacity of beams, columns, and walls. The present paper describes both experimental and analytical programs focused ...
Shear Strengthening of RCT-Joints Using CFRP Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The rehabilitation of RC columns jacketed with carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for improving shear strength, confinement, and ductility has received considerable attention. However, research for improving ...
Retrofit of RC Bridge Pier with CFRP Advanced Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In situ lateral load tests of two bridge bents were conducted on Interstate 15 to determine the strength and ductility of an existing concrete bridge and the improvements that can actually be achieved using a CFRP (carbon ...
