Comparison of tensile strength and fracture toughness under mode I and II loading of co-cured and co-bonded CFRP joints

Alessandro Pirondi, Fabrizio Moroni, Chiara Pernechele, Arturo Gaita, Luca Vescovi

Adhesive bonding is the elective joining system between Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) parts because, with respect to fastening, it allows a large connection area, no additional parts (hence weight saving) and no need to drill…

Reduction of Cracks in Concrete Slabs by Incorporating Synthetic Polypropylene Fiber

Max Ramos, Edwin Parillo

In Peru, research on cracking in concrete slabs has been limited, partly due to the perception that cracks do not pose an immediate problem. However, their cumulative effect over the long term can compromise structural durability…
