Delamination in reinforced concrete retrofitted with fiber reinforced plastics
The addition of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates bonded to the tension face of concrete members is becoming an attractive solution to the rehabilitation and retrofit of damaged structural systems. Flexural strength is enhanced with this method but the failure behavior of the system can …

Compressive strength of lamina reinforced and fiber reinforced composite materials
… on the compressive strength of lamina reinforced and fiber reinforced composite materials when loaded parallel to the reinforcement. An analytical model which replaces the fiber reinforced composite with a laminate containing initially curved laminae has been proposed. By applying the …

Experimental Program for Fiber Reinforced Polymer Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Diaphragms
… Strengthening of the diaphragms in older reinforced concrete buildings may be necessary for several reasons, including to enhance seismic performance, address inadequate strength or stiffness, provide missing or incomplete load paths, improve inadequate shear transfer/connection capacity, …

Behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Confined Reinforced Concrete Columns Under Fire Condition
In recent years, fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have demonstrated enormous potential as materials for repairing and retrofitting concrete bridges that have deteriorated from factors such as electro-chemical corrosion and increased load requirements. However, concerns associated with fire …

Analysis and Design of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Diaphragms
… such as moment frames and shear walls. In reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, diaphragms often require retrofit due to renovation-driven changes, new slab penetrations, or insufficient strength, stiffness, or ductility, especially in older structures. A promising retrofit method involves …

Performance of Steel Fiber Reinforced and Conventionally Reinforced Post-Tensioned Flat Plates
… while the last had banded-banded tendon layout reinforced with steel fiber. The specimens were loaded to service limit state, factored load and then to failure, using a whiffle tree loading system that approximated a uniformly distributed load. Experimental results were compared to analytical …

Cord-Reinforced Cylindrical Shells
… for the displacements from the loads on a cord-reinforced cylindrical shell. The load-deformation relations are developed by considering the mechanics of the matrix, the cords, and the shell. The matrix is modeled using the generalized Hooke's law for an isotropic linear-elastic material. The …

Biologically reinforced geopolymer composites
… detailing the characteristics of biologically reinforced geopolymers is presented. Cork particle reinforced sodium geopolymer composites were shown to have a maximum flexural strength of 2.5 MPa, and an average strain-to-failure of 0.75%. Abaca fiber reinforced sodium geopolymer composites had …

Shear Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Externally Bonded Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plates
… this study was to investigate the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened in shear by the addition of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP). An experimental programme was devised to investigate the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by the attachment of …

Durability behavior of fiber reinforced polymer and steel reinforced polymer for infrastructure applications
<p>"Crack development in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is common in elements such as bridge decks. However, these cracks can impose significant problems over time, because they allow chlorides from deicing chemicals to infiltrate concrete which will then corrode steel bars as RC structures …

Structural Performance of Fiber-Reinforced and Welded Wire Fabric-Reinforced Concrete Composite Slabs
… structural performance of composite floor slabs reinforced with 6 x 6 W1.4/W1.4 welded wire fabric (WWF) and STRUX 90/40 synthetic macro fibers. Slabs were subjected to flexural strength tests and concentrated load tests while monitoring load, steel deck strains, and deflections. Test results …

Bending behavior of concrete T-beams reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars
Concrete slabs are integrally cast with girders or stringers (stiffening system) resulting in floor slabs, bridge decks, footers, retaining structures and others. A portion of slab between a stiffening system acts as flange and bends in unison with the stiffening system, i.e., classic T-beam …

Shear strength of concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer bars without stirrups
The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as an alternative to steel bars for reinforced concrete (RC) structures is gaining acceptance among the structural engineers. The investigation of structure performance of FRP-RC members has become a critical issue. Extensive researches have been …
