This work examines the performance of no web reinforced concrete beams with novel spliced longitudinal steel bars and enhanced by wrapped CFRP sheet subjected to pure torque. The spliced bars were of insufficient length to show the substandard state and were treated with a new method of enhancing the splice region by wrapping CFRP sheet transversely ...

Enhancements in Performance and Manufacturing Efficiencies of GFRP Rebar
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing rebar with non-corrosive property is suggested as an alternative replacement to steel reinforcing rebar due to its enhanced durability and non-corrosive characteristics. Currently, a limited number of glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar (GFRP) are sold commercially due to their high cost, relatively low ...

Experimental study on flexural behaviour of inorganic polymer concrete beams reinforced with basalt rebar [PDF]
Corrosion of reinforcing steel and the severe degradation of mechanical properties with temperature and fire conditions are the weakest points of steel-reinforced concrete structures and fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) system, respectively. In this paper,

Numerical simulation of the bond behavior of mineral‐impregnated carbon‐fiber reinforcement
Abstract The bond behavior between reinforcement and concrete has a significant influence on the load‐bearing behavior and serviceability of the composite material. This paper focuses on the characterization of the bond behavior between fine‐grained concrete and mineral‐impregnated carbon‐fiber reinforcement.

Fiberglass Grids as Sustainable Reinforcement of Historic Masonry [PDF]
Fiber-reinforced composite (FRP) materials have gained an increasing success, mostly for strengthening, retrofitting and repair of existing historic masonry structures and may cause a significant enhancement of the mechanical properties of the reinforced

The Arousa Island bridge. Complete refurbishment and 10 years analysis description
Abstract The Isla de Arousa Bridge, 1980 m long, is the only road access to Isla de Arousa. Built in 1985, this single‐cell box girder divided into 40 spans runs entirely over the sea. In response to corrosion damage, the local government decided to make an intervention with an ambitious repair project in 2009.
