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 study focuses on the numerical and statistical analyses to predict the mid-span moment capacity of RC beams strengthened with fabric reinforcement cementitious mortar (FRCM) laminate. A finite element model (FEM) has ...

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 ...

It is vital to understand the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beams in order to avoid a catastrophic shear failure and design for ductile failure. However, due to the complexity in the shear failure mechanism ...

Corrosion in steel reinforcement is a central issue behind the severe deterioration of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Nowadays, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is increasingly being used as a viable alternative ...

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems are becoming an excellent choice for the shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams owing to their excellent structural performance and compatibility with the ...

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 study investigated the efficacy of near surface mounted (NSM) hybrid carbon/glass fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) strips for strengthening of shear-deficient reinforced-concrete (RC) rectangular deep beams. A specific ...

The structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) was investigated. Fourteen unstrengthened and strengthened beams were tested in flexure under ...

The effect of the shear span-to-depth (a/d) ratio on the shear behavior of steel reinforced grout (SRG)-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams is experimentally investigated. Four critical shear spans corresponding ...
