Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcements are taken as an alternative solution
for the deterioration of civil infrastructures. GFRP bars have received increasing attention …

In this paper, an overview focusing on the bond behavior of recycled coarse aggregate
concrete (RAC) with steel bar is carried out. The results show that the failure modes of RAC …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence that replacing natural coarse
aggregate with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) has on concrete bond strength with …

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an emerging construction material that uses a by-product
material such as fly ash as a complete substitute for cement. This paper evaluates the bond …

This study evaluated the effect of fully replacing natural aggregate (NA) with several sources
of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) on the various mechanical properties of multiple …

Over the last few decades, the use of precast concrete components have been significantly
increasing in building and bridge construction due to their quality, durability, and speed of …

Splice strength in reinforced concrete is an important parameter for the safe design of any
structure which should be assessed with ease and accuracy. Analytically the assessment of …

Despite extensive investigations of bond stress versus slip modeling for RC structures, most
existing bond stress–slip models are incomplete, discontinuous, and insufficiently accurate …

High strength concrete (HSC) is used extensively in practice. However, HSC is prone to
cracking at early age, which can be the first step in a construction's deterioration and its …

The local bond aspect between steel bars and concrete confined with ordinary transverse
steel is experimentally investigated. The test parameters included diameter of reinforcing …
