Performance of High-Modulus Near-Surface-Mounted FRP Laminates for Strengthening of Concrete Columns
(Elsevier, 2019-05-01)
This study investigates the performance of high-modulus near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates in strengthening of existing concrete columns. The focus of this study is on the compressive and ...
Theory, tools, and multidisciplinary applications for tracing groundwater fluxes from temperature profiles
(Wiley, 2019-01)
Quantifying groundwater fluxes to and from deep aquifers or shallow sediment is a critical task faced by researchers and practitioners from many environmental science disciplines including hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, ...
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 ...
Behavior of Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-04-24)
This paper presents an experimental and analytical study on slender concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. The experimental program included ten concrete columns with rectangular ...
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 ...
