Experimental study of hollow FRP sections under bending
(APFIS 2019, 2019-12-10)
This paper presents an experimental study on hollow, fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) sections subjected to bending. This study is part of an ongoing project, with the eventual goal being to use the sections as a bridge ...
Experiments and nonlinear analysis of the impact behaviour of sandwich panels constructed with flax fibre-reinforced polymer faces and foam cores
(SAGE, 2020-05-14)
As the effects of climate change become more apparent, it is necessary that environmental impact is considered in every aspect of our society, including the design of new infrastructure. The use of natural materials for ...
Flexural and shear characteristics of bio-based sandwich beams made of hollow and foam-filled paper honeycomb cores and flax fiber composite skins
(Elsevier, 2020-05-24)
In this paper, bio-based sandwich panels made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and two types of paper honeycomb core (namely, hollow and foam-filled) with three different thicknesses (namely, 6 mm, 12 mm, and 25 mm) ...
Experimental and Analytical Behaviour of Sandwich Composites with Glass Fiber-reinforced Polymer Facings and Layered Fiber Mat Cores
(SAGE, 2020-07-06)
This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical studies on the behaviour of sandwich beams fabricated with layered cores and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite facings. The GFRP facings were ...
Recycled gypsum powder from waste drywalls combined with fly ash for partial cement replacement in concrete
(Elsevier, 2020-07-18)
Recent developments towards sustainable infrastructure have motivated more environmentally conscious construction practices. The concrete industry is known to have a large carbon footprint, which can be decreased by reducing ...
1g model tests of vertically loaded GFRP piles
(Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS), 2019-09-29)
The conventional piling materials (i.e., concrete, steel, wood) are more likely to have durability problems (i.e., corrosion, degradation, deterioration) in harsh environments and offshore construction. Fiber-reinforced ...
Axial Behavior of Innovative Sand-Coated GFRP Piles in Cohesionless Soil
(ASCE, 2020-10-01)
In pile construction, conventional pile materials such as concrete, steel, and wood are frequently subject to soil–substructure interaction durability problems due to corrosion and deterioration. Fiber-reinforced polymers ...
Numerical Modeling of the Lateral Behavior of Concrete-Filled FRP Tube Piles in Sand
(ASCE, 2020-08-01)
In this study, a numerical model is developed to study concrete-filled FRP tube (CFFT) pile behavior and interactions with foundation soil under lateral loading. The model, based on nonlinear finite element analysis (NFEA) ...
Experimental Investigation of Short and Slender Rectangular Concrete Columns Reinforced with GFRP Bars under Eccentric Axial Loads
(ASCE, 2020-12-01)
In this paper, the experimental behavior of short and slender concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars under eccentric compression loading is presented. A total of 10 large-scale concrete ...
Post-impact residual strength and resilience of sandwich panels with natural fiber composite faces
(Elsevier, 2011-06-01)
In this paper, the post-impact residual flexural behavior of sandwich panels with flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FFRP) faces and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam cores is investigated experimentally. The faces were manufactured ...
