A concise state-of-the-art survey of fiber-reinforced polymer (also known as fiber-reinforced
plastic) composites for construction applications in civil engineering is presented. The paper
is organized into separate sections on structural shapes, bridge decks, internal …

The Editorial Board of the American Society of Civil Engineers Journal of Composites for
Construction (Lawrence C. Bank, Editor) sponsored a survey of the civil/structural
engineering programs around the world on the subject of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) …

The performance of rehabilitated reinforced concrete beam-column joints was compared
with the response of existing joints designed to preseismic codes to assess proposed
rehabilitation techniques. Six beam-column subassemblies with nonductile reinforcement …

The repair and retrofit/rehabilitation of existing concrete and masonry structures have
traditionally been accomplished with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
systems, steel plates, reinforced concrete (RC) overlays, and posttensioning, just to name …

The objective of this study is to investigate the efficiency of an innovative technique for
strengthening masonry arches, based on the use of high strength steel cords embedded in
either an epoxy (steel reinforced polymer) or mortar matrix (steel reinforced grout). Ten …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the behavior of slender
steel columns strengthened using high-modulus (313 GPa), carbon fiber-reinforced polymer
(CFRP) plates. Eighteen slender hollow structural section square column specimens, 44× …

This study investigates the shear behavior of concrete beams reinforced with fiber-reinforced
polymer (FRP) reinforcement. Six beams were subjected to two successive phases of
testing. Half of the beams were reinforced in flexure with conventional steel reinforcement …
