Abstract: The behavior of slender high-strength concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and spirals subjected to concentric and eccentric axial loads was evaluated. Large-scale tests were conducted ...

Abstract: Precast/prestressed concrete sandwich panels consist of two concrete wythes separated by a rigid insulation foam layer and are generally used as walls or slabs in thermal insulation applications. Commonly used connectors ...

Abstract: Experiments have shown that externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets for square and rectangular columns are not as effective as they are for circular columns. The results of experiments on shape-modified ...

Abstract: Steel plate connections are frequently used in tilt-up and precast concrete building construction to tie adjacent wall panels together for shear and overturning effects, and to provide continuous diaphragm chord connections ...

Abstract: An experimental research program is described regarding the use of externally applied carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) jackets for seismic rehabilitation of reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints, which were ...

Abstract: The writers evaluated the confinement that was provided by glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) spirals in concrete columns under axial load. Given that GFRP spirals are resistant to chloride-induced corrosion, the option ...

Abstract: The rehabilitation of RC columns jacketed with carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for improving shear strength, confinement, and ductility has received considerable attention. However, research for improving ...

Abstract: Long-term monitoring of two precast deck panels constructed with glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and six girders of a single-span bridge is reported. Each instrumented panel is 12.5 m long, 2.1 m wide, and 235 ...

Abstract: The transverse joint between full-depth precast concrete panels in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) is a critical element for satisfactory performance of bridge decks. Live loads on bridge decks are caused by concentrated ...
