Effective axial strength of laterally strengthened RC pier heads with post‐tensioning method
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the structural performance enhancement of reinforced concrete (RC) pier heads laterally strengthened with unbonded post‐tensioning (PT) to accommodate increased design loads following a deck replacement of an existing railway bridge.

Experimental and numerical investigation on the flexural response of GFRP‐reinforced SFRC beams
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In order to address the challenges related to the deformability and ductility of concrete beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, an alternative solution involving steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been proposed. In the present study, a total of seven beams—including one steel‐reinforced reference beam and six glass

Prestressed FRP Tubular Deck System
, 2003 An experimental and analytical study was undertaken to assess the behavior of a new FRP deck system. The deck consists of a series of pultruted FRP tubes, laid side by side on existing stringers, perpendicular to the direction of traffic.

Evaluating structural resistance and updating modeling uncertainties through testing
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The aging of infrastructure necessitates a robust and rational methodology for the assessment of existing structures. Design codes provide general models which cover different design scenarios and are thus overly conservative. Also, such design approaches lack field data and, if applied directly to existing works, often lead to unnecessarily ...

Application of Brittle Materials to Strengthen Masonry [PDF]
, 2008 Fibre Reinforced Polymer Strengthening (FRP) has become a popular method for retrofitting masonry structures. It is easily applied by attaching bonding either dry fibre mats or pre-formed plates to an existing structure.

Side‐by‐side long‐term performance assessment of GFRP‐ and steel‐reinforced concrete bridge decks
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The corrosion‐induced deterioration of steel‐reinforced bridge decks is a service life concern, especially in cold regions, where the use of deicing chemicals is common. To address this issue, glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has received growing attention, owing to the GFRP's resistance to conventional corrosion.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The implementation of traditional steel reinforcement in 3D concrete printed structures is a major challenge. Although 3D‐printed structures may be used as formwork, the knowledge about their structural contribution is limited. This research aims to experimentally evaluate the structural performance of reinforced concrete prisms with 3D ...
