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 ...

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 paper presents the test results of a study on the bond performance of near-surface mounted (NSM) basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars to concrete. Twelve C-shape concrete specimens were tested under direct ...

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 ...

Eco-friendly concrete is the most recommended sustainable option to reduce the excessive diminution of concrete natural resources and the high generation of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the present study explores ...

Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure in Arabian Peninsula is subjected to harsh climatic conditions of high temperatures, humidity, and airborne chlorides and there is a high concentration of salts in seawater and soils. ...

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 ...

Purpose We present an approach that combines finite element analysis and genetic algorithms to find the optimal configuration of local resonators created in the host structure to suppress their vibration in a target ...
