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 ...

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 ...

Steel corrosion is a major degradation factor for the reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure and necessitates a costly repair after short service life. Predicting the strength of corroded and retrofitted structural elements ...

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 ...

Steel reinforced grout (SRG) has shown to be an efficient and cost-effective strengthening solution for reinforced concrete (RC) structures. With regard to RC beams, the experimental studies to date have focused mainly on ...

This paper presents a data-driven approach to determine the load and flexural capacities of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites in flexure. A total of ...

This paper presents an experimental study on the efficacy of near-surface mounted (NSM) hybrid carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strips for the strengthening of shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams. ...

The experimental study on the shear strengthening the efficacy of a recently introduced hybrid carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) for reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams has been presented in this study. The hybrid ...

A noble cause motivated the interest to carry out research work on an inexpensive strengthening technique using ferrocement for reinforced concrete beams applicable in developing countries. Ferrocement as an inexpensive ...
