Abstract: Contradictory results have been published on the effect of sea sand and seawater in concrete as opposed to conventional river sand and freshwater. The majority of studies show equivalent, if not better, results when sea ...

Abstract: Steel reinforcing bars, helices, and fibers in concrete columns are susceptible to corrosion, particularly in aggressive environments. This study experimentally investigated the use of corrosion-free glass fiber-reinforced ...

Abstract: This study investigated the effects of different configurations of connection reinforcement and anchorages on the cyclic behavior of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced-concrete (RC) exterior beam–column ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effectiveness of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer strips ties (CST) as the transverse reinforcement for normal strength glass fiber–reinforced polymer reinforced concrete (GFRP-RC) square columns. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the potential of scrap tire in controlling the onset of instability of sand in the constant shear drained (CSD) stress path. A series of triaxial tests in the constant shear drained stress path was ...

Abstract: The bond strength of steel reinforcement bars in concrete is of prime importance for the strength and serviceability of reinforced concrete structures. The composition of concrete directly affects the bond strength of steel ...

Abstract: The packing behavior of a particle system is significantly influenced by the particle size distribution (PSD) of the mix and the viscosity of the liquid. In this study, the effect of the viscosity of the commonly used ...

Abstract: This paper presents analytical and experimental studies on the axial load-bending moment behavior of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and helices RC columns. The nominal axial load and bending moment of the columns ...
