Structures are often subjected to extreme loading conditions that lead to their premature
deterioration, and replacement of those structures before the end of their design lives is very …

Failure is defined by a coating's purpose, but a crack is a failure in almost every application.
Cracks cause problems in service when they first arise, well before they are widespread. By …

Materials play a huge role in the shaping and development of human civilization. The need
for materials started from the early stone-age where man needed fire to keep him warm and …

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)-retrofitted steel beams are likely exposed to
significant service temperature variations due to seasonal and daily temperature changes …

The bond behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)-to-steel interface in
strengthened steel structures is likely to be significantly affected by service temperature …

The main aim of this work is the voids characterization of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin
(CFRP) composites after hydrothermal aging. The composites aged at varying time and …

The structural performance of externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)-
strengthened steel beams can be affected by different service temperatures. This study …

Many civil applications use square hollow sections (SHSs) as members in beam-column
connections which can be vulnerable under cyclic loading. Cyclic loadings from …

Epoxy adhesives based on recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET), ground rubber tire
(GTR), and graphene oxide (GO) nanoflakes were designed and their thermal and …

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) combine characteristics of polymers and fibers to obtain a
material with high mechanical strength and stiffness together with low specific mass and …
