Permanent post-tensioned ground anchors are widely used for the stabilization of different structures in civil engineering. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons have been proposed to replace steel tendons in ground anchors to solve the durability ...
H-SA700 is a type of new ultra-high-strength structural steel that is more environmentally friendly and more suitable for mass production than conventional high-strength steel. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the practical application of CF ...

The automatic generation of elastic-plastic stress fields (EPSF) for structural concrete members by means of the finite element method has been demonstrated as a suitable approach for the design and assessment of D regions. This methodology allows accounti ...
Three-dimensional thermo-mechanical stress analysis of composite joints with bi-adhesive bonding is presented using the full layerwise theory. Based on three-dimensional elasticity theory, sets of fully coupled governing differential equations are derived ...
Similarly to the post-buckling behavior of steel girder webs, the post-wrinkling behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) cell-core sandwich webs can increase their ultimate shear strength. Post wrinkling is, however, different from post-buckling ...
Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SH-UHPFRC) were used successfully over the last 8 years in numerous cast in place rehabilitation applications as long lasting waterproofing layers (20 to 30 mm thickness) and, combined with ...
This work addresses the development of composite materials that contain metallic load-bearing cords with the aim of combining outstanding mechanical performance with added functionality, including electrical conductivity, data transmission, and temperature ...
Glass used in buildings is often exposed to sources of surface damage which can have a significant effect on its strength. Existing research suggests that the flaws in glass can successfully be repaired by transparent polymeric resins, but the reasons for ...
In a recent article (Sekulic and Curnier (2007) [1]), an original axisymmetric epoxy-stamp on glass-disc specimen, which exhibits stable debonding, was presented for identifying the adhesive properties between epoxy and glass, namely interface debonding en ...
Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
