Abstract: Structural systems of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls are common building systems, especially for historical buildings. In this study a one-story reinforced concrete building was simulated...
Abstract: Recently, FRP systems have received attention from the repair and rehabilitation industry as a viable methodology that can be employed to address strength, damage, and deterioration issues in masonry. The emerging FRP industry, which...
Abstract: This paper summarizes a multiphase analytical and experimental study on evaluating the propensity for small delaminations in fiber-reinforced-plastic (FRP) composite panels to propagate under both static and cyclic (wind) loads. Finite-...
Abstract: Buried, prestressed concrete cylinder pipelines (PCCP) are deteriorating in water utility infrastructure across the country. The use of liners that comprise carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) can provide numerous advantages,...
Abstract: This paper describes a parking garage retrofitting project where near-surface-mounted carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars were used to strengthen the reinforced-concrete decks. The garage reportedly exhibited numerous signs of...
