The use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcement is a practical alternative to conventional steel rebars in concrete structures subjected to aggressive environments. The solution is attractive for bridge deck and rail applications, as it eliminates corrosion of the steel reinforcement, which is the major instrument of degradation. Due to the peculiar physical and mechanical characteristi...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rods are advanced composite materials with high strength, light weight, non-corrosive properties, and superior durability properties. Under severe environmental conditions, for concrete structures, the use of glass-fiber-reinforced (GFRP) is a cost-effective alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. This study compared flexural behavior an OPC slab high-volu...

The recycling and re-usability of the waste materials are great importance meaning when evaluated in terms ecological order. Furthermore, cold formed steel has importance, nowadays. aim this study is to investigate bending shear behavior composite by pouring polymer into I U profile melds after homogenous pulping. best results strengths were obtained with melted polypropylene. enhanced adherenc...

Reinforced concrete is the most commonly used material in construction industry. However, one disadvantage of reinforced that environmental factors cause materials to penetrate and steel bar corrosion. Rebar corrosion increases its volume significantly by approximately 3–6 times, which lowers concrete–rebar adhesion. This severely affects serviceability durability structures. The economic socia...

Enhancement of the response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement bars has become a popular structural technique over the past two decades due to the well-known advantages of FRP composites including their high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Thisstudy presents n...
