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 ...

Corrosion is a common condition encountered by steel reinforcing bars which has a considerable negative impact on the structural integrity of concrete structures. Nowadays, applying anti-corrosive composite materials such ...

This paper presents a study about the bond durability of basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars embedded in concrete incorporating basalt macro fibers (BMF) when conditioned in harsh saline environment at 60 °C. A ...

This study investigated the structural performance and moment redistribution of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) continuous beams reinforced with basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars. A total of 10 reinforced ...

This study presents an experimental and numerical study on the structural behavior and moment redistribution of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC) continuous beams with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. A ...

The current study presents an investigation on the influence of the surface texture of the reinforcing bar and the addition of macro fibers to concrete on the bond strength of basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars. ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the shear behavior of high-strength one-way plain and basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) slabs reinforced with basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars. A total of 8 ...

This paper reports on the experimental and analytical investigation of the shear performance of concrete beams cast with basalt fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC) and longitudinally reinforced with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer ...

The state of Qatar bears harsh environment and coastal conditions which stand for most of the year. As a result, steel-reinforced concrete structures are subjected to rapid corrosion and deterioration. Therefore, there is ...

Recently, researchers’ efforts have been directed toward using fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) in lieu of conventional concrete to improve the compressive strain, tensile strength capacity, cracking patterns, and ductility ...
