Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites do not only possess superior mechanical properties, but can also be easy to tailor, install, and maintain. As such, FRPs offer novel and …
In practice, especially the basement floor beams are drilled and damaged by the users. In some cases, this damage to the beams can be significant for the load-bearing element and …
Dapped end prefabricated concrete purlins (PCPs) suffer from shear damages due to coating, snow, wind load and also their dead loads. In this present study, a series of …
Several existing fracture modeling strategies for the debonding mechanism simulation in strengthened structural elements rely on simplified cohesive approaches for concrete/FRP …

The technique of externally bonding fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has become very popular worldwide for retrofitting existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures …
Reinforced concrete flat solid slabs may experience explosive and impact loads. Reinforced concrete flat solid slabs have been studied under static and dynamic loads. Researchers …
Three–dimensional nonlinear finite–element models have been developed to investigate the loading–unloading–reloading behaviour of two reinforced–concrete beams under four …
This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the effect of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets/laminates on the flexural deflection of pre-cracked and repaired …
