Characterization of Combined Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs for Strengthening Concrete Columns
This paper presents the results of a study on the characterization of combined longitudinal near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and transverse FRP wraps for strengthening concrete columns. A total ... -
Enhancing the Interface Friction between Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets and Sandy Soils through Sand Coating
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 ... -
Self-Healing Concrete: A Review of Recent Research Developments and Existing Research Gaps
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
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 ... -
Using TDA to Partially Replace Coarse Aggregates in Concrete Mixtures
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 ... -
Application of Recycled Gypsum Wallboards in Cement Mortar
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 ... -
Calibration of Reduction Factor for Concrete Columns Strengthened with Unidirectional Fiber-Reinforced Wrapping
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 ... -
Strengthening Slender Steel Compression Members Using a Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Shell Buckling Restrained Bracing System

Behavior of Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns
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 ... -
Impact Behavior of Sustainable Sandwich Panels with Flax FRP Faces and Cardboard Cores
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 ... -
Theory, tools, and multidisciplinary applications for tracing groundwater fluxes from temperature profiles
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, ... -
Performance of High-Modulus Near-Surface-Mounted FRP Laminates for Strengthening of Concrete Columns
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 ... -
Rethinking the use of seabed sediment temperature profiles to trace submarine groundwater flow
Submarine groundwater fluxes across the seafloor facilitate important hydrological and biogeochemical exchanges between oceans and seabed sediment, yet few studies have investigated spatially distributed groundwater fluxes ... -
Snowmelt infiltration and macropore flow in frozen soils: overview, knowledge gaps, and a conceptual framework
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 ... -
Partial-Composite Behavior of Sandwich Beams Composed of Fiberglass Facesheets and Woven Fabric Core
In this study, thin-walled sandwich composites made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) facesheets and a three-dimensional (3D) woven fabric core were studied. A total of 30 small-scale sandwich beam specimens were ...
