Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams in shear using different steel reinforced grout techniques
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)In this study, steel reinforced grout (SRG) is proposed for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using the near-surface embedded (NSE) technique. It is believed based on several research contributions in ... -
The Mechanical and Environmental Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers in Concrete Structures: Opportunities, Challenges and Future Directions
( MDPI , 2022 , Article Review)The construction sector is well known for its critical environmental impact resulting from the consumed amounts of raw materials and the tremendous emissions of greenhouse gases. Therefore, scientists need to promote and ... -
Soffit and U-Wrap fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix strengthening for reinforced concrete beams
( American Concrete Institute , 2019 , Article)The structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) was investigated. Fourteen unstrengthened and strengthened beams were tested in flexure under ... -
U-shaped frcm for strength and deformation enhancement of reinforced concrete beams
( University of Cantabria - Building Technology R&D Group , 2020 , Conference Paper)The strength and deformation performances of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM Uwrapped reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been studied in this work. Nine RC beams were used to assess this strengthening technique, ... -
Performance of Seawater-Mixed Recycled-Aggregate Concrete
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2020 , Article)The use of seawater and recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) in concrete mixtures leads to the production of a very sustainable concrete. The potential risk of steel reinforcement corrosion (due to chloride in the seawater) in ... -
Material performance and cost effectiveness of seawater-mixed rubberized concrete
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The combined use of seawater and recycled tire aggregate (RTA) in concrete is potentially a way forward towards sustainable construction. It can help control harvesting of natural aggregates, manage waste tires, mitigate ... -
Shear span-to-depth ratio effect on steel reinforced grout strengthened reinforced concrete beams
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)The effect of the shear span-to-depth (a/d) ratio on the shear behavior of steel reinforced grout (SRG)-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams is experimentally investigated. Four critical shear spans corresponding ... -
Sensitivity analysis and genetic algorithm-based shear capacity model for basalt FRC one-way slabs reinforced with BFRP bars
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in concrete structures owing to their superior corrosion resistance. However, FRP-reinforced concrete (RC) structures exhibit less ductile response compared ... -
Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete deep beams using near-surface mounted hybrid carbon/glass fibre reinforced polymer strips
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)This study investigated the efficacy of near surface mounted (NSM) hybrid carbon/glass fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) strips for strengthening of shear-deficient reinforced-concrete (RC) rectangular deep beams. A specific ... -
Plastic hinge length of rectangular RC columns using ensemble machine learning model
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)It is critical to properly define the plastic hinge region (the region that is exposed to maximum plastic deformation) of reinforced concrete (RC) columns to assess their performances in terms of ductility and energy ... -
Shear strength of recycled-aggregate concrete beams with glass-FRP stirrups
