ment methods and two spec/imen diameters. Flexural strength and modulus of woven glass fiber-reinforced specimens werc significanLly greater than those without woven glass fiber (p<O.OD, Likewise, comprossive strength of reinforced specimens was signifieantly greater than those without woven glass fiber (p<O.Ol), except for specimens rcjnforced with woven glass fiber oriented at a tilt directio...

one important application of fiber reinforced polymer (frp) is to confine concrete as frp jackets in seismic retrofit process of reinforced concrete structures. confinement can improve concrete properties such as compressive strength and ultimate axial strain. for the safe and economic design of frp jackets, the stress-strain behavior of frp-confined concrete under monotonic and cyclic compress...

Poor fire resistance of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) restricts its further application in construction structures. In this paper, a novel fibre-reinforced cementitious matrix confined concrete column (FRCMCC) using fireproof grout as the fibre matrix was developed, and experiments were conducted to establish its performance and analyse the mechanical properties under axial compression. The te...

7 Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete can alter the interface between the steel and concrete and 8 thus affects the bond mechanism. This subsequently influences the behaviour of reinforced 9 concrete structures in terms of their safety and serviceability. The present paper attempts to 10 develop a numerical method that can simulate the behaviour of reinforced concrete walls subjected 11 ...

This paper gives an example of how predictive models of the deterioration of reinforced concrete pipes and the consequences of failure can be used to develop risk-based replacement strategies for redundant reinforced concrete pipe networks. It also shows how an accurate deterioration prediction can lead to a reduction of agency costs, and illustrates the limitation of the incremental interventi...

This paper describes the development of a numerical finite element algorithm used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structure equipped with shakes energy absorbing device subjected to earthquake excitation. For this purpose a finite element program code for analysis of reinforced concrete frame buildings is developed. The performance of developed program code is evaluated by analyzing of ...

Reducing waste material plays an essential role for engineers in the current world. Nowadays, recycled materials are going to be used in order to manufacture concrete beams. Previous studies concluded that the currently proposed formulas to predict the flexural and shear behavior of the reinforced concrete beams were not appropriate for those manufactured by recycled materials. This study aims ...
