• A strut and tie model for FRCM-strengthened reinforced concrete deep beams 

      Wakjira, Tadesse; Ebead, Usama ( ISEC Press , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      Exiting literature revealed that fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a promising material for the strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. However, most of the available experimental ...
    • An effective technique utilizing frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear 

      Wakjira, Tadesse; Ebead, Usama ( ISEC Press , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      This paper presents the efficacy of a new technique of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) for the strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This technique involves embedding the FRCM ...
    • Bond and shear-strengthening performance of FRCM composites 

      Younis, Adel; Ebead, Usama A ( ISEC Press , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      This paper is aimed at studying the bond and shear-strengthening performance of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems. Three FRCM systems were compared, namely, polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO)-FRCM, ...
    • Effect of surface roughening on concrete/trm bond 

      Shrestha, K.C.; Ebead, U.; Younis, A. ( ISEC Press , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) is applied on the concrete surface with the aim of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The performance of the strengthened structural system is directly related to the bond between ...
    • Effectiveness of frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear using hybrid nse/eb technique 

      Ebead, Usama; Wakjira, Tadesse ( ISEC Press , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      This paper presents an experimental study on the efficacy of a recently introduced hybrid "near surface embedded/ externally bonded" NSE/EB fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). Seven medium scale RC beams, deficient ...
    • Microstructure investigation of seawater vs. Freshwater cement pastes 

      Younis, Adel; Ebead, Usama; Suraneni, Prannoy; Nanni, Antonio ( 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 ...
    • Shear behavior of RC beams strengthened with different types of FRCM: Effect of stirrups' configuration 

      Wakjira, Tadesse G.; Ebead, Usama A ( ISEC Press , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix, (FRCM) system has shown to be promising for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. However, the available experimental investigation on the shear strengthening efficacy ...
