Fiber Reinforced Polymer Strengthening of Structures by Near-Surface Mounting Method [PDF]

open access: yesPolymers, 2016
This paper provides a critical review of recent studies on strengthening of reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry (URM) structures by fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) through near-surface mounting (NSM) method. The use of NSM-FRP has been on the rise, mainly due to composite materials’ high strength and stiffness, non-corrosive nature and ease of

A novel drifter designed for use with a mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler in shallow environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present a novel design for a surface drifter, mounted with a pulse-coherent Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) for measuring near-surface (depths 0.18-1 m) flows.

Flexural performance of RC beams strengthened with near surface mounted CFRP strips

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2016
The near surface mounted (NSM) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is emerging as a promising alternative strengthening technique to externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) for increasing the load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete (RC ...

Bond Performance of Near-Surface Mounted BFRP Bars to Concrete

open access: yesThe International Conference on Civil Infrastructure and Construction, 2023
This paper presents the test results of a study on the bond performance of near-surface mounted (NSM) basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars to concrete. Twelve C-shape concrete specimens were tested under direct pull-out loading configuration. Test parameters included the bar surface configuration (deformed and sand coated), the types of epoxy ...

Fibre optic strain measurements for bond modelling of prestressed near-surface-mounted iron-based shape memory alloy bars

open access: yesConstruction and Building Materials, 2021
Near-surface-mounted (NSM) iron-based shape memory alloy (memory-steel) bars represent a novel type of reinforcement for prestressed strengthening of concrete structures.

Control of laminar-instability waves using a new technique [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
A new technique using surface-film activators has been developed to induce and control laminar-instability waves by periodic heating. A flat plate was instrumented and installed in the GALCIT High-speed Water Tunnel with flush-mounted surface heaters ...
