Beton merupakan material konstruksi yang paling umum digunakan pada pembangunan di masa sekarang ini. Selain karena memiliki banyak kelebihan, penyusun beton pun sangat mudah didapatkan dan cukup dalam proses pengerjaannya. Namun selain beberapa sifat menguntungkan pengaplikasiannya juga kekurangan, kekurangan ini terus berusaha diminimalisir oleh para pengguna agar penggunaannya dapat bekerja ...

Composite reinforcing bars (rebars) that are used in concrete members with high performance (strength and durability) properties could have beneficial effects on the behavior of these members. This is especially vital when a building is constructed in an aggressive environment, for instance a corrosive environment. Although tension capacity/weight (or volume) ratios in composite rebars (carbon ...

This study investigates the influences of three types locally available low-cost Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) wraps and two concrete mix designs on axial behavior FRP confined concrete. The experimental program comprised four unconfined (control), glass Matt Strand (GFRP-MS) concrete, Rowing (GFRP-R) carbon (CFRP) specimens with a diameter 150 mm height 300 tested under compression. were pre...

Three different laminated composites are used in this study: carbon fiber, woven glass and glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy. The composite laminate structures were fabricated using the hand lay-up technique at room temperature. laminates reinforced with epoxy resin, fibers (CFRP), (GFRP-W), random-orientation (GFRP-R) to obtain eight layers. wear test was performed a pin-on-disc tribometer five loa...

In this study, a multi-spot laser scanning thermography (MLST) system is developed for automated, rapid and long-range inspection of delamination in composite structures. First, thermal waves are generated by scanning a multi-spot laser beam over a target composite structure, and the corresponding thermal waves are measured by using an infrared (IR) camera. Then a thermal image processing algor...

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) is one of the best retrofitting materials for strengthening due to a number of advantages, such as excellent strength to self-weight ratio, large fatigue resistance capacity, etc. Presently, many different types of FRP models are used in analysis, thereby creating erroneous analytical results. Reinforced concrete (RC) beams with carbon and glass fibrereinforced po...
