Corrosion in steel reinforcement is a central issue behind the severe deterioration of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Nowadays, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is …
GFRP stirrups are a promising alternative to conventional steel stirrups due to their non- corrosive nature. However, their performance under cyclic exposure to wet-dry and freeze …
Existing shear design models for reinforced concrete are based on semi-empirical approaches and were calibrated with different experimental databases. The existing FRP …

This paper presents a study of shear behaviour of sea-water and sea sand self-compacting concrete (SWSS-SCC) beams reinforced with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars …
The aim of this study was to examine how the tensile strength of glass fibre reinforced polymer stirrups is affected by different types of solutions, including alkaline, seawater, tap …
The unique properties of internal fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement influence their bond interaction with the surrounding concrete. This is especially true in the case of …

Attributed to its extraordinary strength and durability, the future of reinforcing and prestressing material in reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures most likely belongs to …
This study proposes a unified shear design provision for slender steel-and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete (RC) members. The proposed model is a modification of …
Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have emerged as an alternative to steel for reinforced concrete (RC) elements in aggressive environments due to their non-corrosive properties …
