Flexural and interfacial behavior of externally bonded/ mechanically fastened fiber-reinforced polymer-strengthened reinforced concrete beams
(
American Concrete Institute
, 2014 , Article)
The determination of structural behavior requires advanced numerical methods, of which results are substantiated by credible experimental findings. This research aims to create precise finite element models for fiber-reinforced ...
Numerical modeling of shear strengthened reinforced concrete beams using different systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers
, 2014 , Article)
This research aims at creating finite-element models for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behavior of shear strengthened ...
Effectiveness of Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix in Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Beams
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the efficiency of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) in enhancing the flexural capacity and deformational characteristics of RC beams. In the main experimental part of the paper, 12 RC beams, ...
FRP/stirrups interaction of shear-strengthened beams
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This work includes experimental testing and finite element analysis of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) shear-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The strengthening techniques used for the beam strengthening are ...
Strength, shrinkage, and permeability performance of seawater concrete
(
ISEC Press
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Given the increasing global concern of freshwater scarcity, the use of seawater in concrete mixtures appears to be a way forward towards achieving sustainable concrete, especially in the case of non-reinforced concrete ...
Life cycle cost analysis of structural concrete using seawater, recycled concrete aggregate, and GFRP reinforcement
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Using seawater and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in a concrete mix is potentially advantageous from a sustainability perspective. However, the high chloride levels expected in such a case demands ...
Bond characteristics of different FRCM systems
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are usually applied on the concrete surface for the purpose of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The efficiency of FRCM as a strengthening ...
Microstructure investigation of seawater vs. Freshwater cement pastes
(
ISEC Press
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Recently, seawater has emerged as viable mixing water for concrete, especially in the case of non-reinforced concrete applications or with the use of non-corrosive reinforcement. Previous studies concerning seawater-mixed ...
Engineering students' approaches to learning and views on collaboration: How do both evolve in a PBL environment and what are their contributing and constraining factors?
(
