Ebead, Usama; Lau, Denvid; Lollini, Federica; Nanni, Antonio; Suraneni, Prannoy; Yu, Tao... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)A review of the last 16 years of research (2005-2021) on seawater-mixed concrete is presented. A very significant amount of research, both fundamental and applied, has been performed on this topic, and there is worldwide ... -
Cost effectiveness of reinforcement alternatives for a concrete water chlorination tank
Younis, Adel; Ebead, Usama; Suraneni, Prannoy; Nanni, Antonio ( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Reinforced concrete tanks in water/wastewater treatment plants are susceptible to severe corrosion due to aggressive exposure conditions resulting from the application of certain treatment chemicals and methods. Non-corrosive ... -
Effect of corrosion damage on the flexural performance of RC beams strengthened with FRCM composites
Elghazy, Mohammed; El Refai, Ahmed; Ebead, Usama; Nanni, Antonio ( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)This paper reports on the flexural behavior of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with different fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites. Three groups of beams were subjected to ... -
Effectiveness of FRCM system in strengthening reinforced concrete beams
Ebead, Usama A.; Shrestha, Kshitij C.; Afzal, Muhammad S.; El Refai, Ahmed; Nanni, Antonio ( International Committee of the SCMT conferences , 2016 , Conference Paper)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 ... -
Microstructure investigation of seawater vs. Freshwater cement pastes
Younis, Adel; Ebead, Usama; Suraneni, Prannoy; Nanni, Antonio ( ISEC Press , 2019 , Conference Paper)Recently, seawater has emerged as viable mixing water for concrete, especially in the case of non-reinforced concrete applications or with the use of non-corrosive reinforcement. Previous studies concerning seawater-mixed ... -
Performance of corrosion-aged Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams rehabilitated with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
Elghazy, Mohammed; Refai, Ahmed El; Ebead, Usama A.; Nanni, Antonio ( International Committee of the SCMT conferences , 2016 , Conference Paper)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 ... -
Performance of FRCM strengthened RC beams subject to fatigue
