There is considerable investment in construction industry in Qatar for civil infrastructures and taking into account the severe environmental conditions, they would entail for proper maintenance, repair and strengthening ...

This paper reports on the feasibility of using fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems to rehabilitate corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Seven large-scale RC beams were constructed and tested ...

In this paper, experimental work has been reported to investigate the efficiency of fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) in enhancing the flexural capacity and deformational characteristics of reinforced concrete ...

This paper investigates the bond between high-strength concrete (HSC) and tensile lap-spliced basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. Ten large-scale BFRP-reinforced concrete beams (300 x 450 x 3900 mm) were fabricated ...

The combined use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is deemed plausible to achieve sustainable construction. This paper aims ...

Combining seawater, recycled coarse aggregate (RCA), and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in concrete is potentially advantageous from a sustainability perspective. This paper reports on the results of ...

This paper constitutes a special importance for developing countries where an affordable trowel-based strengthening system is needed. This paper also provides an affordable strengthening solution when it is not possible ...

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 ...

Utilizing treated domestic wastewater (TWW), recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), and fly ash (FA) in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is of great interest from a sustainability perspective. In this study, four RC beams ...

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, ...
