... time. This poses a risk to any marine concrete structure including bridge piers, lighthouses and offshore gravity based drilling and production structures that are located in ice prone environments. Existing conventional test setups are most often borrowed from other disciplines in material testing...

..., is magnet-inert and, as a result, in some cases it can provide antimagnetic and dielectric properties to structures. The range of properties listed above, as well as being sufficient for reinforcing concrete structures and providing the appropriate strength and stress-strain behavior, can provide...

... Abstract Reinforced concrete structures such as bridges, roadways, buildings and dams can suffer serious degradation in harsh environments such as seawater, salt-laden air, and environments where deicing salts are used. Chlorides and/or carbon dioxide can penetrate into the concrete and form...

... ABSTRACT Post-tensioned concrete structures have been gaining in popularity over the past few decades. When properly designed, such structures allow for longer span lengths, reduced cracking, and less reinforcement than reinforced concrete structures. Their use of higher strength steel...

... ABSTRACT: The carbonation layer on the surface of a concrete structure may influence the nondestructive test for frost damage diagnosis. However, the quantitative influence has not yet been evaluated. In this research, the influence of the carbonation layer was examined by measuring...

... ABSTRACT This paper discusses the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) wraps as the protection and strengthening techniques for reinforced concrete structures. Four reinforced concrete columns were wrapped with single layer of CFRP sheets before the corrosion initiation...

.... The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether composite wrapping could be used to complement traditional repair techniques for the rehabilitation of corrosion-damaged concrete structures. Twelve reinforced concrete bridges were selected to be rehabilitated using fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP...

... ABSTRACT This paper presents a reasonable numerical model for reinforced concrete structures strengthened by FRP. Proper constitutive models are introduced to simulate the nonlinear behaviors of reinforced concrete and FRP. The finite element program ABAQUS is used to perform the nonlinear...

... The civil engineering industry today generally uses the word "composites" in relation to a class of materials labeled as fiberreinforced- polymer (FRP) composites. These "composite" materials have been used as reinforcement for concrete structures, for shaped structural members and other applications...

... ABSTRACT It is important to be able to predict the service life span of concrete structures in marine areas. While freeze/thaw damage may be important in cold climates, chloride-induced corrosion is generally the critical deterioration process in most marine environments. Once reinforcement...
