New mechanics-based confinement model and stress–strain relationship for analysis and design of concrete columns wrapped with FRP composites
(Elsevier, 2021-10-01)The analysis and design of concrete columns wrapped with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites require the mathematical equation of stress–strain relationship and the ultimate conditions (i.e., stress and strain) ... -
New Testing Method of GFRP Bars in Compression
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2018-06-13) -
Nucleation and arrest of dynamic slip on a pressurized fault
(2012-10)Elevated pore pressure can lead to reactivation of slip on pre-existing fractures and faults when the static Coulomb failure is reached locally. As the pressurized region spreads diffusively, slip can accumulate quasi-statically ... -
Numerical Analysis of Longwall Mining Layout for a Wyoming Trona Mine
(Elsevier, 2016)At Solvay Mine, located in southwestern Wyoming, a subhorizontal trona seam is mined at depths of between 460-490 m using mechanized room-and-pillar and longwall mining methods. The stratigraphy at the mine generally ... -
Numerical Investigation of Fillet Welds in HSS-to-Rigid End-Plate Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents a finite element (FE) investigation on the behavior of fillet-welded hollow structural section (HSS) rigid end-plate connections, wherein the entire weld length is effective. The FE models are validated ... -
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) ... -

Parametric study of the flexural behaviour of sandwich panels with flax FRP faces and foam cores using finite element analysis
(APFIS 2019, 2019-12-10)To meet the growing demands for increased sustainability in infrastructure, it is important to consider the use of more environmentally-friendly materials, such as plant-based fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs). Plant-based ... -
Partial-Composite Behavior of Sandwich Beams Composed of Fiberglass Facesheets and Woven Fabric Core
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)In this study, thin-walled sandwich composites made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) facesheets and a three-dimensional (3D) woven fabric core were studied. A total of 30 small-scale sandwich beam specimens were ... -
Particle Size Effects on Breakage of ACT Aggregates Under Physical and Environmental Loadings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2020)Aggregates manufactured from fine-grained thermal waste residues using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) represent a potential sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. However, for these manufactured products ... -
