BEHAVIOUR OF SHORT-SPAN CONCRETE-FILLED COMPOSITE TUBES WITH ±55◦ FIBER ORIENTATION UNDER BENDING AND SHEAR
(2021-12-14)Concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs), an alternative to conventional systems, emerged as innovative and sustainable infrastructure systems for various structural applications. This research aimed ... -
Bond-Slip Analytical Formulation toward Optimal Embedment of Concrete-Filled Circular FRP Tubes into Concrete Footings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-03-15)This paper presents a robust analytical model for a moment connection of concrete-filled fiber reinforced-polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) to concrete footings. The CFFT connection is based on a simple approach of direct embedment ... -
Durability of Concrete Beams with Bonded FRP Composites made of Flax and Glass Fibers
(CSCE, 2016-08-24)Synthetic fibers, such as glass fibers, in the form of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been extensively used for the repair and strengthening of existing concrete structures in the past three decades. As ... -
Durability of Flax FRPs Exposed to Accelerated Environmental Conditions
(CDCC 2017, 2017-07-19)It is well known that synthetic fiber reinforcements, such as glass fibers, elevate the mechanical properties of polymer materials. Considering the synthetic material’s renewability challenges, natural fibers, such as flax ... -
Effect of Fiber Orientation on Nonlinear Behavior of CFRP Composites
(Sage Publications, 2009-09)Fiber orientation is one of the important parameters that affect strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete columns. A number of studies have been conducted on various fiber orientations and wrap thicknesses, but have ... -
Experimental and Analytical Behavior of Sandwich Composite Beams: Comparison of Natural and Synthetic Materials
(SAGE, 2016-05-31)In this study, the flexural behavior of sandwich composite beams made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and light-weight cores are studied. The focus is on the comparison of natural and synthetic fiber and core ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF HOLLOW FRP SECTIONS UNDER BENDING FOR USE AS BRIDGE DECKING
(2020-12-21)In this thesis, the behaviour of square hollow structural sections made of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) under four-point bending both independently and in composite with concrete was investigated. The end goal ... -
Experimental Study of Rectangular RC Columns Strengthened with CFRP Composites under Eccentric Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-01-28)This paper presents the results of experimental studies on reinforced concrete columns strengthened with CFRP composites under combination of axial load and bending moment. A total of seven large-scale specimens with ... -
Flexural Behavior of Sandwich Panels made of FRP Composites: Synthetic and Natural Fibers
(CSCE, 2016-06-01)Sandwich panels made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and light-weight core materials have the potential to be effectively used in several structural applications such as cladding, decking, and roofing panels. The ... -
Lateral Behaviour of Concrete-Filled FRP Tube Piles
(2017-10-01)Applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite piles are rapidly gaining traction in Canada and around the world. FRP piles offer several advantages compared to traditional piles, the most important of which is ... -
MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF DAMAGED REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPES REPAIRED WITH LAYERED SANDWICH FIBER COMPOSITES
(2021-04-08)Trenchless pipe repair can offer time and cost savings over traditional excavation and replacement of damaged pipes. Conventional repair methods using prefabricated steel liners are not effective due to significant loss ... -
Tensile Properties of Flax FRP Composites
(6th Asia-Pacific Conference on FRP in Structures, 2017-07-19)In this study, the effects of the polymer matrix properties and shape of test specimens on mechanical properties of flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are examined. A total of 30 flax FRP coupons were fabricated ...
