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 ... -
THE EFFECT OF FREEZE/THAW CYCLES ON THE PERFORMANCE AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF CEMENT-TREATED SOILS
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2016-12)In this paper, the performance and structural changes in cement-treated soils under influence of freeze/thaw (f/t) exposure are investigated. Specimens from plastic and compacted soil-cement mix designs were exposed to ... -
Effects of long shredded rubber particles recycled from waste tires on mechanical properties of concrete
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-10-10)The goal of this research is to study the mechanical properties of recycled rubber particles extracted from scrap tires in concrete to introduce a sustainable waste management system and subsequently to reduce the use of ... -
Enhancing the Interface Friction between Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets and Sandy Soils through Sand Coating
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-28)Soil-pile interface friction is an important geotechnical engineering factor to be considered in achieving a safe, cost-effective design. Conventional construction materials such as concrete, steel, and wood exhibit serious ... -
Evaluating Impact Resonance Testing as a Tool for Predicting Hydraulic Conductivity and Strength Changes in Cement-Stabilized Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2015)In this paper the impact resonance (IR) test method is used as a nondestructive tool to examine the curing progression, freeze/thaw (f/t) resistance, and healing potential of cement-stabilized soils. Resonant frequency ... -
