Shear and Bending Behaviour of Short-span Steel-reinforced Concrete-filled FRP Tubes with ±55◦ Fiber Orientation
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)In this study, steel-reinforced concrete-filled ±55◦ glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) tubes (CFFT) are examined under monotonic loading to understand their shear behaviour. A total of three test specimens with three ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Snowmelt infiltration and macropore flow in frozen soils: overview, knowledge gaps, and a conceptual framework
(Soil Society of America, 2018-11-08)Macropore flow in frozen soils plays a critical role in partitioning snowmelt at the land surface and modulating snowmelt-driven hydrological processes. Previous descriptions of macropore flow processes in frozen soil do ... -
