Experimental and analytical investigations of the flexural behavior of hollow ±55° filament wound GFRP tubes
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)
The behavior of ±55° filament wound glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) tubes under flexural loading was examined experimentally and analytically. A total of 15 tubes were tested under four-point bending. The main test ...
Experimental and Analytical Behaviour of Sandwich Composites with Glass Fiber-reinforced Polymer Facings and Layered Fiber Mat Cores
(SAGE, 2020-07-06)
This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical studies on the behaviour of sandwich beams fabricated with layered cores and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite facings. The GFRP facings were ...
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) ...
Simplified Material Model for Concrete Containing High-Content of Tire-Derived Coarse Aggregate under Compression Loading
(NRC Press, 2020-07-31)
The flexible properties of the shredded rubber tires give rubberized concrete desirable properties such as lower relative density, and better dampening ability, higher toughness, and improved deformability resulting in an ...
Second-order Analysis of Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Artificial Neural Network
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)
Analysis of slender concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars is required for design and optimization purposes. Finite element, finite difference, and analytical-numerical tools were ...
Three-point Bending of Sandwich Beams with FRP Facing and PP Honeycomb Core
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)
In this study, two sets of sandwich beams were tested in three-point bending. The sandwich panels were fabricated in a wet layup process. The facing component was made of either polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber-reinforced ...
Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Nano-Reinforced 3D-Fiber Metal Laminates Using Non-Destructive Techniques
(SAGE, 2020-05-15)
Uncontrolled vibration in mechanical systems (e.g. aircraft, trains and automobiles) may result in undesirable noise and eventually, cause mechanical failure. In this context, the main objective of the present research is ...
Slender RC Columns Strengthened with a Novel Hybrid Strengthening System of External Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs
(ASCE, 2021-10-01)
In this study, the performance of slender circular concrete columns strengthened with a novel hybrid system of longitudinally bonded prefabricated fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates and transverse FRP wrapping is ...
Using Heat to Trace Vertical Water Fluxes in Sediment Experiencing Concurrent Tidal Pumping and Groundwater Discharge
(Wiley/American Geophysical Union, 2021-02)
Heat has been widely applied to trace groundwater-surface water exchanges in inland environments, but it is infrequently applied in coastal sediment where head oscillations induce periodicity in water flux magnitude/direction ...
Self-healing of Engineering Cementitious Composite with Crystalline Admixture Under Different Exposure Conditions
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)
Self-healing mechanisms in concrete can promote healing of cracks with the material produced through the concrete itself. Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a special category of HighPerformance Fiber Reinforced ...
