Condition assessment of reinforced concrete bridge decks as conductive media using GPR
(2014-07-07)Bridge and overpass infrastructure are crucial parts of transportation networks that must be adequately maintained to ensure minimal repair costs and traffic disruption. The majority of the bridges and overpasses in North ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF NONLINEAR FINITE DIFFERENCE MODEL FOR CHLORIDE DIFFUSION IN CONCRETE
(2016-07-06)Owing to problems associated with chloride-induced corrosion, the reliable prediction of chloride ingress into concrete is one of the key elements of the durability design and redesign of concrete structures exposed to ... -
EFFECT OF COMBINED SHEAR, BENDING AND LOW AXIAL LOAD ON BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH GLASS FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER BARS
(2021-04-29)This research's main objective was to investigate the effect of combined bending and shear behavior of the concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to low axial load less than 10% ... -
Experimental Evaluation of the Bond Dependent Coefficient and Parameters which Influence Crack Width in GFRP Reinforced Concrete
(2013-04-04)Reinforcement of concrete flexural components has been traditionally provided by steel rebar; however, durability concerns and life maintenance costs of this product have powered the emergence of fibre reinforced polymers ... -
Gypsum powder recycled from waste drywalls as a partial cement replacement in concrete
(2020-04-14)This experimental study was divided into three main phases using recycled gypsum powder in concrete aiming to introduce a more sustainable and ecological alternative to traditional concrete, while maintaining adequate ... -
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 ... -
PARTIAL CEMENT REPLACEMENT IN CONCRETE WITH RECYCLED GYPSUM FROM WASTE DRYWALLS
(2023-04-12)Utilizing recycled gypsum powder from waste gypsum drywalls as a partial replacement for cement in concrete can address the problems that cement manufacturing process and waste gypsum drywall disposal could cause to the ... -
Short and Slender Concrete Columns Internally or Externally Reinforced with Longitudinal Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
(2020-07-20)The goal of this thesis was to investigate the behavior of short and slender concrete columns internally and externally reinforced with longitudinal fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The study was divided into two ... -
THROUGH ASPHALT DETECTION OF CORROSION DAMAGE IN CONCRETE USING GROUND-COUPLED GPR
(2014-07-24)Many transportation departments (DOT) use Bridge Management Systems (BMS) to assist in planning, maintenance and repairs. BMS keep track of a number of aspects regarding a department’s bridge infrastructure that include ...
