Abstract: The development/splice strength and the pullout local bond stress-slip response of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in tension were experimentally investigated using beam specimens and pullout specimens, respectively. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study for evaluating the use of external fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates for strengthening unbonded posttensioned concrete members. Twenty-four full-scale simply ...

Abstract: This paper presents a synthesis of the results of a broad experimental and analytical research program undertaken for evaluating the flexural behavior of unbonded posttensioned prestressed concrete (PC) members when ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study undertaken to evaluate the characteristics of the local bond stress-slip response of reinforcing bars (RBs) embedded in plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of analytical investigation of the strength and structural behavior of concrete members prestressed with external tendons. The behavior at both the serviceability and ultimate limit states ...

Abstract: The work presented in this paper is a part of a comprehensive research project aimed at developing and testing a system for strengthening historical buildings. The system is composed of a combination of textile mesh and ...
