Torsional behavior of RC beams strengthened with PBO-FRCM composite
… bonded fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites have been investigated recently as an alternative to fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to overcome certain shortcomings such as the inability to install on wet surfaces or in low temperatures, low fire resistance, low glass …

Blast Retrofit of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) Composites
… Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is an emerging material which can also be used to strengthen and remove the deficiencies in unreinforced masonry walls. This composite material consists of a sequence of one or multiple layers of cement-based mortar reinforced with an open …

Increasing the Blast Resistance of Concrete Masonry Walls Using Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) Composites
… Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a new composite material that overcomes some of the drawbacks of FRP. This composite material consists of applying coatings which consist of one or more layers of cement-based mortar reinforced with a corresponding open mesh of dry fibers …

Some investigations to compare the durability and performance of mechanical and porcine heart valve prostheses
… and durability of heart valve prostheses. Frcm 1975 to 1979 540 patients undergoing heart valve replacement in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary were entered into a randomised trial and received either a mechanical (Bjork-Shiley), or porcine heterograft (Hancock or Carpentier-Edwards) prosthesis. …

Repair of Impact-Damaged Prestressed Bridge Girders Using Strand Splices and Fiber-Reinforced Polymer
… investigation: strand splice, bonded FRP, and FRCM. During this investigation the repair methods were evaluated by conducting six flexural tests on four AASHTO Type III girders. Flexural tests were conducted instead of shear tests because typical impact damage from overheight vehicles occurs …

Analytical Modeling of the Repair Impact-Damaged Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
… and fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) overlays. The flexural strength of four AASHTO Type III girders, three of which were intentionally damaged and repaired, was evaluated. Six experimental tests were performed on these girders: one undamaged girder test and five repair method …

Strengthening of reinforced masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane pseudo-static cyclic load using advanced composite
… and fiber reinforced cementitious material (FRCM). The experimental part included three phases. In the first phase, a series of 42 reinforced masonry walls were tested to study the effectiveness of advanced composites in enhancing out-of-plane flexural capacity. The effect of long-term …

Repair of Impact-Damaged Prestressed Bridge Girders Using Strand Splices and Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix
This thesis investigates the repair of impact-damaged prestressed concrete bridge girders with strand splices and fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix systems, specifically for repair of structural damage to the underside of an overpass bridge girder due to an overheight vehicle collision. …
