This study presents the first investigation into the use of glass fiber reinforced polymer GFRP to strengthen steel beams with web openings. Based on previous research about the strengthening of steel beams with web perforation using…
There are a few kinds of research about box section Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams under the effect of combined shear and torsional stresses. In the present research, the concept of adding external strengthening, in the transverse…
Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is a promising alternative to steel due to its high strength, lightweight properties, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance requirements. This study examines the effect of internal GFRP I-sections…
Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) I-sections offer a promising alternative to traditional steel reinforcement due to their reduced weight and maintenance requirements. This study aims to optimize the design of GFRP-reinforced composite…
This study experimentally investigates the tensile and bond performance of novel GFRP–SSWM hybrid wraps developed using two epoxy adhesives - Sikadur 30 LP and Sikadur 330. A total of 42 coupon specimens for tensile testing and 48 dumbbell…
The aim of this work is to investigate the mechanical behavior of sandwich structures when subjected to edgewise and flatwise compression loadings, using 2D Digital Image Correlation (DIC). These structures are made of Glass Fiber…
The paper presents an experimental investigation of the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beam elements strengthened externally with stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM). SSWM has the potential to be an alternative composite…
A substantial amount of work was carried out on the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) in reinforcing concrete structural elements, which demonstrated considerable inelasticity or deformity through monotonous and fatigue loads. Even so…
This paper aims to analyze the multi-effects of the glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite patch to repair the inclined cracked 2420-T3 aluminum plate. Three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) was used to study the effect of…
