Strengthening and rehabilitation have been widely implemented for many years to extend the service life of reinforced concrete structures. The paper begins with a comprehensive review fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) utilization on strengthening particularly over traditional materials formerly used in practice respect materials, manufacturing, operation, construction, maintenance phases, as well...

The opinions, findings and conclusions expressed in this report are those of the principal investigator and the Missouri Department of Transportation. They are not necessarily those of the U. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of a pilot study to apply externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets to strengthen a simple span reinforced concrete solid slab bridg...

Three types of shear stud arrangement, respectively featuring an orthogonal, a radial and a critical perimeter pattern, were evaluated numerically. A numerical investigation was conducted using the finite element software ABAQUS to evaluate their ability to resist punching shear in a flat plate. The finite element analysis here is an application of the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete ...

Punching shear failure in thin slabs under concentrated loads can cause stresses near columns. The use of steel fiber is a practical way to improve slab-column connection's punching strength and deformation capacity. In this study, the capacity behavior fiber-reinforced concrete flat are examined force. Ten small-scale were tested, eight which had two without. Two parameters studied paper, volu...

The necessity for a transition in the building industry towards sustainability has made bamboo-based construction more prevalent recent decades. This paper demonstrates development and performance evaluation of newly developed cementitious composite slab panel containing nano-basalt powder (nBP) modified epoxy-coated bamboo as reinforcement. experimental research conducted on six panels ((600 ×...

an experimental study is conducted on three ½ scales, single-story, single-bay, frame specimens. the first specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with solid-brick infill. the second specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with hollow clay perforated-brick infill. the last specimen was a reinforced concrete frame without any infill. these three specimens were tested by pseudostatic method. di...

concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (gfrp) bars exhibit large deflections and crack widths as compared with steel reinforced concrete beams due to the low modulus of elasticity of gfrp bars. different studies show that aci 318 equation for the effective moment of inertia ie does not predict deflection well for frp reinforced concrete beams. the purpose of this paper is...
