The Ashford Perimeter Center garage is a four-level, 700-car concrete parking structure with post-tensioned, flat slabs supported on concrete columns. During the garage construction, it was discovered that the post-tensioning system in the east-...
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite lining systems are used by major municipalities throughout the United States to structurally rehabilitate and upgrade large diameter pipelines. For internal Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
SGH’s Antonio De Luca and Gustavo Tumialan published an article in the November issue of Concrete Construction Magazine. The article titled “Reinforcement on the Outside,” discusses externally bonded fiber-reinforced...
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a laboratory testing program on the curing behavior of one impregnating epoxy (Tyfo® S) and one thickened epoxy (Tyfo® WS) that are most commonly used in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)...
Abstract: Strengthening of pressure pipelines using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials has been an accepted repair method since the late 1990’s. CFRP composites are high strength, non-corrosive and durable materials and can...
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a three year research program on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) renewal of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) sponsored by Water Research Foundation to form the theoretical and...
Abstract: This paper presents the results of the experimental phase of a three year research program sponsored in part by Water Research Foundation (WRF) to form the experimental basis of an American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard on...
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...
