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 ...
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, ...
Strengthening Slender Steel Compression Members Using a Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Shell Buckling Restrained Bracing System
(2019-06-04)
In this paper, the structural properties of slender steel members reinforced against buckling by fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite shells filled with self-consolidating grout is investigated. A total of 9 small-scale ...
Calibration of Reduction Factor for Concrete Columns Strengthened with Unidirectional Fiber-Reinforced Wrapping
(2019-06-04)
Strengthening with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping is a well-established method of retorifiting or upgrading existing concrete columns. The available test data cooreponding to FRP wrapped concrete columns has ...
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 ...
FRP Materials for Rehabilitation of Buried Pipes
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), 2019-06-12)
Over time, pipes tend to deteriorate due to various physical and chemical parameters. Therefore, they necessitate rehabilitation to improve the service life of structure. Bonding a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) liner ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
