RISImplementation of Bond Durability in the Design of Flexural Members with Externally Bonded FRP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are becoming a method of choice for the repair/strengthening of civil structures, some of which are situated in environments detrimental to FRP-concrete bond ...
Bond Durability Factor for Externally Bonded CFRP Systems in Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lack of understanding and confidence in the long-term performance of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in concrete structures still inhibits their application in repair of aged structures. While ...

Flexural Capacity of Glass FRP Strengthened Concrete Masonry Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) can provide a strengthening alternative for unreinforced and underreinforced masonry. The ease with which FRP can be installed on the exterior of a masonry wall makes this form of strengthening ...
Benchmarking Preproject Planning Effort
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Benchmarking key performance areas is key to continual improvement of processes. This paper focuses on measurement and benchmarking of the preproject-planning process for capital construction. While experienced members of ...
Experimental Evaluation of Flexural Static and Fatigue Strength of an Innovative Splice for Prestressed Precast Concrete Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Evaluation of Shear Strength of an Innovative Splice for Prestressed Precast Concrete Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes shear laboratory testing of a joint design for spliced, prestressed precast I-girders. Although the connection is not intended to be placed at locations of high shear, the potential for shear-type ...
A Simple Method of Calculating Lower-Bound Limit Loads for Axisymmetric Thin Shells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a simple method for calculating lower-bound limit loads for shells is presented, based on Ilyushin’s and Ivanov’s generalized yield criterion, respectively, and using the elastic ...
Increased Damping in Cantilevered Traffic Signal Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dynamic characteristics of a traffic signal structure were determined experimentally. Various strategies were investigated to provide additional damping. By decreasing the magnitude and the number of fatigue cycles caused ...
Ductile Anchorage for Connecting FRP Strengthening of Under-Reinforced Masonry Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been examined as a convenient and cost-effective means of strengthening unreinforced masonry structures. Seismic design in the United States is almost entirely based on the ...
