STRUCTURAL RETROFITTING OF CONCRETE BEAMS USING FRP - Debonding Issues
… framework was developed for simulating the behaviour of beams retrofitted with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). The ABAQUS program was used for this purpose. Concrete was modelled using a plastic damage model. Steel bars were modelled as an elastic perfectly plastic material, with perfect …

The Impact of Rolling Dynamic Compaction
… to capture the ground response due to dynamic loading in homogeneous soil conditions. It was found that towing speed quantifiably influenced the energy imparted into the ground, with towing speeds of 10-12 km/h found to be optimal. Targeted full-scale field trials were undertaken to quantify …

Effect of concrete heterogeneity on FRP-to-concrete bond behaviour
… strengthened structure. As a result, the bond behaviour between the FRP reinforcement and concrete plays a critical role in FRP-strengthened RC structures, which has led to extensive experimental and numerical investigations. However, many of the existing studies on debonding failures in FRP …

The behaviour of composite beam-to-column flush end plate connections using blind bolts
… more effective than open sections due to higher load carrying capacity, superior seismic capacity, improved ductility and fire resistance. However, the connections to CFST columns are complicated as they require access to the inside of the hollow steel tube. Complicated methods like welding were …
