Hybrid slab systems combining fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites with concrete are promising load-bearing structures, and an increasing number of applications has demonstrated their high potential in terms of structural performance and durability. H ...
The present research represents a theoretical and experimental contribution to the understanding of the structural behaviour of elements made of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). UHPFRC is investigated as an advanced cementitious m ...
Besides the 50s revolution of the use of adhesives in the new construction in the works of strengthening and repair of different structural elements, adhesives were extensively used in bridges for a long time. Different applications on bridges were carried ...
The temperature is known to influence the strength and durability of concrete. Temperature has also a great influence on the creep of cementitious materials. Previous investigations have not provided a complete understanding of these effects; in particular ...
Nowadays, composite materials are increasingly used in high technology fields such as aerospace and automotive because of the combination of excellent mechanical performance and lightweight. For these characteristics, classical metal alloys are progressive ...
The concept of confined concrete has been widely accepted throughout the structural engineering field, such as the spiral, steel tube, or carbon fiber composite shell confined concrete, etc. In the present study, this concept has not only been used in the ...
The present research improves the experimental and theoretical knowledge on the behaviour of structural elements made of ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with ordinary reinforcement. UHPFRC is a recently developed material with muc ...
Reinforced concrete being the most applied construction material today performs very well in most applications but still lacks durability under severe environmental conditions. Especially existing structures built decades ago show degradation. Using Ultra- ...
When subjected to elevated and high temperatures, the mechanical properties of FRP composites, such as the E- modulus and viscosity, experience significant changes. At a certain temperature, a composite material can be considered a mixture of materials tha ...
The tensile behavior of adhesively-bonded double-lap joints composed of pultruded glass fiber-reinforced adherends and an epoxy adhesive was investigated under temperatures ranging between -35°C and 60°C. The load-elongation response was influenced primari ...
