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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 study investigated the shear performance of large-scale green concrete (GC) beams reinforced with basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars and stirrups. The GC concept was employed in this study by partially ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 presents the results of an experimental and analytical study on the flexural behavior of corrosion–damaged reinforced concrete (RC) slabs strengthened with different near–surface mounted fiber–reinforced polymer ...
