FLEXURAL BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE WITH BAMBOO AND STEEL REINFORCEMENT

Fatigue and Overloading Behavior of Steel-Concrete Composite Flexural Members Strengthened with High Modulus CFRP Materials

Due to corrosion and the continuous demand to increase traffic loads, there is a need for an effective system which can be used to repair and/or strengthen steel bridges and structures. This paper describes an experimental program, recently completed, to investigate the fundamental behavior of steel-concrete composite scaled bridge beams strengthened with new high modulus carbon fiber reinforce...

Effect of Steel Fibers on Flexural Behavior of Normal and High Strength Concrete

Corrosion Behavior of Steel Reinforcement in Concrete with Recycled Aggregates, Fly Ash and Spent Cracking Catalyst

The main strategy to reduce the environmental impact of the concrete industry is to reuse the waste materials. This research has considered the combination of cement replacement by industrial by-products, and natural coarse aggregate substitution by recycled aggregate. The aim is to evaluate the behavior of concretes with a reduced impact on the environment by replacing a 50% of cement by indus...

the flexural strength and flexural - shear void concrete slabs with cfrp and gfrp and steel sheets

a large number of bridges and buildings that are currently used, are made of slabs with opening. some of these buildings and bridges have been severely damaged because of natural disasters such as earthquake, storm and other effects such as materials fatigue and alkaline and corrosive agents. therefore, retrofitting and strengthening of these structures is essential and affordable. in this rese...

Flexural Behavior of GFRP Tubes Filled with Magnetically Driven Concrete

Experimental investigation of GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer) tubes that were filled with magnetically driven concrete was carried out to study the flexural behavior of specimens under bending. Specimens having different cross section and lengths were tested. The test specimens were fabricated by filling magnetically driven concrete into the GFRP tubes and the concrete was vibrated using ...
