Fiber reinforced Polymers (FRP) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. Proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with FRP. In this paper, the influence of FRP thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

the current research intends to study the possibility of producing fiber recycled self-compacting concrete (frscc) using demolitions as a coarse aggregate (crushed red brick and crushed ceramic). steel fibers were used in recycled self-compacting concrete (rscc) to improve fresh and hardened properties of this type of concrete. thirty nine concrete mixes were prepared to achieve the aim propose...

This research is conducted with a view to investigate performance of concrete containing high volumes of ASTM Class C fly ash. A portland cement concrete, proportioned to have 28-day compressive strength of 6,000 psi (41 N4Pa) is used in this study. Concrete mixes are also proportioned to have various levels of cement replacement by fly ash ranging from 40% to 70% by weight. Concrete performanc...

Ground granulated blast furnace slag is widely used as a mineral admixture to replace partial Portland cement in the concrete industry. As the amount of slag increases, the late-age compressive strength of concrete mixtures increases. However, after an optimum point, any further increase in slag does not improve the late-age compressive strength. This optimum replacement ratio of slag is a cruc...

Enhancement of strength and ductility is the main reason for the extensive use of FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) jackets to provide external confinement to reinforced concrete columns especially in seismic areas. Therefore, numerous researches have been carried out in order to provide a better description of the behavior of FRP confined concrete for practical design purposes. This study present...

In this study, twenty glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete specimens were modelled using finite element method to predict the effect of GFRP compressive bars on the flexural strength and ductility of GFRP reinforced concrete beams. Also, the contribution of GFRP longitudinal rebars to the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete columns is determined. The concrete elas...

To improve the performance of concrete, polymers are mixed with concrete. It has been observed that polymer-modified concrete (PMC) is more durable than conventional concrete due to superior strength and high durability. In this research, effect of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) latex on compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete has been studied and also the optimum polymer (SBR-La...

Pervious concrete is a concrete mixture prepared from cement, aggregates, water, little or no fines, and in some cases admixtures. The hydrological property of pervious concrete is the primary reason for its reappearance in construction. Much research has been conducted on plain concrete, but little attention has been paid to porous concrete, particularly to the analytical prediction modeling o...

in this research, 210 concrete cube specimens (15cm) were made replacing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, and 60 percent of slag powder from isfahan steel mill for cement. the control specimens were made with 350 kg/m3 cement content and the water cement ratio in all specimens was 0.51. the slump value and compressive strength of concrete specimens in 7, 28 and 90 days were obtained and th...
