Effect of short glass fiber on shear capacity for shallow wide reinforced concrete beams
Journal of Engineering and Applied Science, 2021 Shallow wide reinforced concrete beams are used in modern buildings especially in residential building structures. According to current Egyptian Code Practice 203-2018; the characteristic of a shallow wide concrete beam is that the cross-section width (b)

Performance of concrete beams partially/fully reinforced with glass fiber polymer bars
Journal of Engineering and Applied Science, 2021 One of the major advantages of using glass fiber-reinforced polymer bars as a replacement to the traditional steel-reinforced bars is its lightweight and high-resistant to corrosion.

Experimental Study of the Flexural and Compression Performance of an Innovative Pultruded Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer-Wood Composite Profile. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The plate of a pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer or fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) profile produced via a pultrusion process is likely to undergo local buckling and cracking along the fiber direction under an external load. In this study, we constructed

Influence of matrix toughness and interfacial strength on the toughness of epoxy composites with ductile steel fabric reinforcement [PDF]
, 2015 In the last decades, several studies have been performed on polymers reinforced with steel cords or wires. However, the diameter of these steel reinforcements was still quite large (200 micron and more).

Screen-Printed Interdigital Structure on Flexible RTM6 Substrate
Proceedings, 2017 Ideally, for non-invasive sensor integration in fiber reinforced composites, sensors should be made of resin or fibers. For the first time, the curing degree of RTM6 resin in Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is measured with a sensor made of the ...
