Abstract: Val-Alain Bridge on Highway 2 East is the first bridge in Canada in which the concrete deck and barrier walls were fully reinforced with vinyl-ester–based glass-fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Built in 24, this bridge ...

Abstract: Abstract There is increasing interest in using glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars for reinforcement in compressive members such as concrete columns and bridge piers. However, the understanding of their long-term ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an innovative composite railway sleeper with an optimal material usage for a narrow-gauge railway track under static loading condition. The composite sleeper is designed using sandwich panels that ...

Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the cyclic behavior of segmental precast concrete decks reinforced and post-tensioned with glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) rods, replicating the repetitive loading conditions induced ...
