View ArticleCharacterization of mechanically enhanced FRP bonding system
Despite extensive research on externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (EB-FRP) for rehabilitation of concrete structures in the past two decades, the industry has been slow to embrace the technology...
View ArticleDynamic analysis of partial-interaction composite beams
The state-space method is used to investigate the dynamic behavior of partial-interaction composite beams. The state-space formula is properly established via selecting the appropriate state variables....
View ArticleAnalytical identification of bond-slip relationship of EB-FRP joints
Bond-slip relationship of externally-bonded (EB) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) joints can be determined by either directly or indirectly from a pull-off test. The indirect analytical method is gaining...
View ArticleUnified stress-strain model of concrete for FRP-confined columns
This paper presents a unified stress-strain model of concrete for circular, square, and rectangular columns confined by fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets. Through the unification, the variation of...
View ArticleAnalytical modeling of bond behavior between FRP plate and concrete
The bonding of FRP plate on the tensile side of concrete members has been accepted as an effective and efficient technology for improving the strength and stiffness of concrete structures. Intermediate...
View ArticleAnalytical solution for the bond strength of externally bonded reinforcement
Interfacial behavior is critical to composite structures and materials reinforced by externally bonded reinforcement. Numerous empirical and semi-empirical models have been developed for evaluating...
View ArticleUnified bond stress-slip model for reinforced concrete
Despite extensive investigations of bond stress versus slip modeling for RC structures, most existing bond stress-slip models are incomplete, discontinuous, and insufficiently accurate. These problems...
View ArticleDebonding inhibiting mechanism of strain localization plating system
Recently, a new plating system was proposed based on a strain localization mechanism for addressing the critical debonding problem in externally bonded reinforcing systems for reinforced concrete (RC)...
