A series of reinforced concrete beams strengthened in flexure using different carbon fiber-reinforced
polymer (CFRP) composite systems were fabricated and tested in the laboratory to …

In recent years, the need to rehabilitate our aging infrastructure has been recognized. The
use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites has been identified as a viable …

Integral abutment bridges are often a preferred bridge type for moderate spans throughout
the United States. However, design methods and construction details vary from state to state. …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheets have gained popularity as a viable
strengthening technique for existing reinforced concrete structures. The efficiency of the …

This paper explores the use of three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning to evaluate
deteriorated steel bridge girders due to corrosion. Initially, a naturally corroded beam from a …

Strengthening concrete structures using FRP composites is a commonly considered
technology in many practical situations. The success of the strengthening intervention largely …

This paper presents test results of 18 small-scale reinforced concrete specimens of
strengthened beams using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. The specimens …

The behavior of coupled-wall buildings primarily depends on the performance of coupling
beams. Existing coupled-wall buildings designed and built prior to the 1970s contain coupling …

Twenty-four specimens representing two different methods of hollow-core slab production
were tested. The two producers that fabricated the hollow-core units use different fabrication …

Tree failure may cause significant economic and societal disruptions in urban environments.
A better understanding of the relationship between branches and stem as they affect the …
