The use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) to confine concrete columns improves the strength and ductility by reducing passive lateral confinement pressure. Many numerical analytical formulations have been proposed in literature describe compressive behaviour FRP confined under both monotonic cyclic loads. However, effect a stress/strain level has not well defined because lack well-defined strat...

Confining structurally deficient concrete columns with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been widely accepted as an effective technology for strengthening the ductility and strength of columns. However, prediction models damaged afterward repaired based on soft computing methods are not available planning maintenance structures. Therefore, this paper adopted two – artificial ...

Since columns are the most important elements of the structures, failure of one column in a critical location can cause a progressive collapse. In this respect, the repair and strengthening of columns is a very important subject to reduce the building failure and to keep the columns capacity. Twenty columns with different parameters is tested and analysis. Eleven typical confined reinforced con...

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...

Ferritin synthesis is controlled at the translational level in response to cellular iron status. A component of this regulatory system is the ferritin repressor protein (FRP) which binds to the iron-responsive element (IRE) located at the 5' end of all known ferritin mRNAs, thus inhibiting its translation. Antibodies against purified FRP were raised in mouse and used to isolate an FRP cDNA from...

Vibrio harveyi NADPH:FMN oxidoreductase P (FRP(Vh)) is a homodimeric enzyme having a bound FMN per enzyme monomer. The bound FMN functions as a cofactor of FRP(Vh) in transferring reducing equivalents from NADPH to a flavin substrate in the absence of V. harveyi luciferase but as a substrate for FRP(Vh) in the luciferase-coupled bioluminescent reaction. As part of an integral plan to elucidate ...
