Abstract: Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) finite-element model (FEM) of a two-column post-tensioned bridge bent with replaceable tension-only stretch length anchors (SLAs) used as external energy dissipators was developed. The 3D ...

Abstract: Two models, Model Fiber and Model Rotational Spring (RS), simulating the seismic performance of repaired column-to-cap beam/footing connections using a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) donut are presented in this ...

Abstract: Confinement of concrete using glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) spirals was evaluated using small-scale concrete cylindrical specimens with a 254-mm diameter and 762-mm height under concentric axial compression. The ...

Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites offer several advantages over loose-plate steel connections when used in vertical joints between concrete wall panels as a connector. Advantages include resistance to ...
