The deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is increasingly becoming a serious problem facing the infrastructure worldwide. To prolong the service life of existing structures, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets ...
To prolong the service life of existing structures and besides other repairing methods, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets are being used. It has been found in an earlier research, that in addition to the efficient ...
Several studies are reported in the literature on the effect of transverse reinforcement on bond and anchorage characteristics of reinforcing bars in normal and high strength concrete specimens. Transverse reinforcement ...
With the more frequent use of FRC in earthquake resistant structures as a means for improving energy absorption and dissipation capacity, understanding the infl uence of steel fiber reinforcement on the bond strength between ...
There are several research programs reported in the literature on the effect of fibers on the properties of fresh concrete and on the strength and ductility of hardened normal strength concrete However no research investigated ...
The research reported in this thesis appraises the effect of fiber reinforcing p olymer (FRP) sheets, externally confining high strength concrete beam-column joi nts, on the anchorage strength and confinement of hooked ...
