Structural evaluation of RC overhang cantilever slab strengthened with FRP near‐surface mounted (NSM) composites for bridge applications

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 1105-1128, April 2024.
Abstract This paper presents the findings of a large‐scale experimental study that focus on assessing structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) cantilever slabs with carbon/epoxy fiber‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite strips using a near‐surface‐mounted (NSM) approach.

Experimental study on flexural behaviour of inorganic polymer concrete beams reinforced with basalt rebar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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,

Neural network‐based models versus empirical models for the prediction of axial load‐carrying capacities of FRP‐reinforced circular concrete columns

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 1148-1164, April 2024.
Abstract This study presents new neural‐network (NN)‐based models to predict the axial load‐carrying capacities of fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP) bar reinforced‐concrete (RC) circular columns. A database of FRP‐reinforced concrete (RC) circular columns having outside diameter and height ranged between 160–305 and 640–2500 mm, respectively was ...

Fire endurance and residual strength of insulated concrete beams strengthened with near surface mounted reinforcement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The comparatively weak performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened members under fire exposure is a primary factor hindering the application of FRP strengthening in buildings in which fire risk is not negligible.

Study on bending failure and crack characteristics in ductile fiber‐reinforced concrete beams

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 916-934, April 2024.
Abstract In this study, we designed six polypropylene fiber‐reinforced concrete (PP‐FRC) beams and three reinforced concrete (RC) beams for experimental studies. Then, we analyzed the effects of incorporating PP fibers on the cracking performance of PP‐FRC beams from the perspectives of load‐displacement response, crack distribution, crack depth, crack

Structural Behavior of Circular Concrete Columns Reinforced with Longitudinal GFRP Rebars under Axial Load

open access: yesBuildings
This paper presents experimental and theoretical assessments of the structural behavior of circular steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to a concentric axial compressive load.

Experimental Investigation of Ductility in GFRP RC Beams by Confining the Compression Zone

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Nowadays, building structures in corrosive environments requires some considerations. Being lightweight, high tensile strength, and corrosion resistance are the features that make fiber‐reinforced plastic (FRP) bars an alternative component for longitudinal steel reinforcement of concrete.
