Closed-Form Model and Parametric Study on Connection of Concrete-Filled FRP Tubes to Concrete Footings by Direct Embedment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-10-30)
Concrete-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) have been introduced as a new system for piles, columns and poles. A simple moment connection based on direct embedment of the CFFT into concrete footings or ...
Short Concrete Columns Reinforced with GFRP Rebars under Eccentric Loading
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2017-05-31)
In this paper, the compressive performance of short concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite rebars is evaluated. A total of fourteen 500 mm long concrete specimens with square ...
Structural Behaviour of Sandwich Panels Constructed of Foam Cores and Flax FRP Facings
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2017-05-31)
In this study, the flexural behaviour of sandwich panels constructed of flax fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) facings and closed cell polyisocyanurate foam cores was examined. A total of nine sandwich beam specimens (1200 ...
Experimental Study of Rectangular RC Columns Strengthened with CFRP Composites under Eccentric Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-01-28)
This paper presents the results of experimental studies on reinforced concrete columns
strengthened with CFRP composites under combination of axial load and bending moment. A
total of seven large-scale specimens with ...
Strengthening Concrete Columns using NSM CFRP Laminates
(6th Asia-Pacific Conference on FRP in Structures, 2017-07-19)
In this paper, the performance of concrete columns strengthened with longitudinal near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite laminates is evaluated. A total of fourteen medium-scale plain ...
Long-Term Tensile Properties of Natural Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Comparison of Flax and Glass Fibres
(Elsevier, 2016-06)
Despite of significant research on the mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced polymer composites made of natural fibres, long-term performance of the natural fibre composites against moisture and other environmental ...
Contribution of Longitudinal GFRP Bars in Concrete Cylinders under Axial Compression
(NRC Research Press, 2018-01-15)
Contribution of longitudinal glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete columns under compression has been ignored by current design guidelines. This paper challenges this convention by testing 21 concrete ...
Experimental and Analytical Behavior of Short Concrete Columns Reinforced with GFRP Bars under Eccentric Loading
(Elsevier, 2017)
This paper presents experimental and analytical studies on short concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) towards characterizing compressive behavior GFRP bars. The experimental program consisted ...
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 ...
Bond-Slip Analytical Formulation toward Optimal Embedment of Concrete-Filled Circular FRP Tubes into Concrete Footings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-03-15)
This paper presents a robust analytical model for a moment connection of concrete-filled fiber reinforced-polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) to concrete footings. The CFFT connection is based on a simple approach of direct embedment ...
