Effects of GFRP Stirrup Spacing on the Behavior of Doubly GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams

Civil Engineering Journal
This study investigates the impact of varying glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) stirrup spacing on the performance of doubly GFRP-reinforced concrete beams. The research focuses on assessing the behavior of GFRP-reinforced concrete beams, including load-carrying capacity, cracking, and deformability. It explores the feasibility and effectiveness of

Wind Turbine Blade Crack Detection and Assessment in Images Using Machine Learning

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT As the wind energy industry matures, inspection of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is shifting from a manual process involving rope access and grading of damage, towards unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography and artificial intelligence‐aided processing of data.

Quantifying Fiber Bridging in Mode I Fatigue Delamination of CFRP/GFRP Hybrid Laminates Using a Superposed Traction–Separation Model

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 3605-3615, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hybrid CFRP/GFRP laminates offer an attractive balance between mechanical performance, damage tolerance, and cost efficiency. However, fiber bridging during mode I delamination increases crack‐growth resistance while masking the intrinsic fatigue behavior of the material. This study applies a traction–separation‐based superposition approach to
