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 ...
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 ...
Characterization of Combined Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs for Strengthening Concrete Columns
(NRC Research Press, 2019-09-04)
This paper presents the results of a study on the characterization of combined longitudinal near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and transverse FRP wraps for strengthening concrete columns. A total ...
Investigation of the Stress-Strain Constitutive Behavior of ±55° Filament Wound GFRP Pipes in Compression and Tension
(Elsevier, 2019-05-09)
The behavior of hollow ±55o filament wound glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pipes under longitudinal compressive and tensile loading is studied experimentally using 31 pipe specimens. The main parameters were the ...
Material Characterization of GFRP Bars in Compression using a New Test Method
(ASTM, 2019-05-20)
This paper presents a new test method for determining the mechanical properties of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite bars in compression, namely the compressive strength, compressive modulus of elasticity, ...
Using TDA to Partially Replace Coarse Aggregates in Concrete Mixtures
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), 2019-06-12)
Applications utilizing rubberized concrete have grown substantially in the last decade as an answer for the scrape tires stockpiling problems and its associated environmental issues. Though rubberized concrete mixtures ...
Residual Behavior of Sandwich Panels with Flax FRP Faces and Foam Cores after an Impact Event
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-04-24)
polymer (FFRP) faces which have been subjected to impact loading will be investigated. The sandwich panels tested in this study were fabricated using a closed cell polyisocyanurate foam with a density of 64 kg/m3 and faces ...
Impact Behavior of Sustainable Sandwich Panels with Flax FRP Faces and Cardboard Cores
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-04-03)
Structural sandwich panels have been shown to be effective for use as building cladding materials due to their low weight and high relative strength and stiffness. To increase the sustainability of these panels natural and ...
Self-Healing Concrete: A Review of Recent Research Developments and Existing Research Gaps
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), 2019-06-12)
Self-healing materials are defined as the materials that are able to partially or completely restore their original functionality after they have been damaged. In cementitious materials, such as concrete, this concept is ...
Application of Recycled Gypsum Wallboards in Cement Mortar
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), 2019-06-12)
Gypsum is a naturally formed mineral that is already known to be added to cement at small percentages in order to reduce the speed of reaction with water, however it seems that substantial technical research has not been ...
