Multi-functional SMA hybrid composite materials and their applications
… SMA elements into host composite materials, control or modification of the SMA hybrid composite’s structural properties can be accomplished in-service, thereby increasing the hybrid composite’s structural functionality. Previous studies addressed increasing composite materials’ functionality …

Performance of Steel Fiber Reinforced and Conventionally Reinforced Post-Tensioned Flat Plates
… reduced slab self-weight, as well as crack and deflection control. To improve the competitive advantage of PT flat plates through improved economy and performance, a study was undertaken. This study investigated the performance and behavior of three one-third scale models of a nine-panel two-way …

Behaviour of continuous concrete T-beams reinforced with hybrid FRP/Steel bars
… and serviceability in terms of crack width and deflection control. However, the moment redistribution at failure was limited because of the early yielding of steel reinforcement at the beam section that did not reach its moment capacity and could still carry more loads due to the presence of FRP …

Evaluation of the In-Servic Performance of the Tom's Creek Bridge
… transverse wheel load distribution and deflections under service loading, the Tom's Creek Bridge will aid in modifying current AASHTO bridge design standards for use with FRP composite materials. Second, by evaluating the FRP girders after being exposed to service conditions, the project …
