Technical Work on Flexible Pipe/Soil Interaction Overview?1990
Research in the laboratory and field have been ongoing for the past seventy years on flexible pipe/soil interaction. Virtually all of the early work was done on steel pipe. During the...
A Materials Study of Interleaved Bismaleimide Composites
One approach for improving damage tolerance in epoxy based composites involves interleafing of tough adhesive layers between plies of the composite prior to fabrication. Extension of this...
Design of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Underground Storage Tanks
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the design and construction techniques of fiberglass composite underground storage tanks. The scope of this paper is limited to the straight shell...
Time-Dependent Behavior of FRP Lintels
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the short-term and long-term behaviors of two types of T-shaped lintels made of fiber-glass reinforced plastic with polyester or...
Load-Deflection Performance of FRP Molded Grating
This research project deals with fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) molded grating, its properties, manufacturing materials used and appearance. Grating strength, configuration, weight...
Laboratory Fatigue Investigation of a GRP Bridge
A fatigue study of a 4.9 m glass-reinforced plastic bridge indicated a resistance to 1.6 million cycles of load without extensive damage to joints or elements. Viscoelastic creep occurred...
Bond Stress-Slip Relationships of FRP Rebars in Concrete
A newly developed type of reinforcement bar for concrete, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) rebar, can be used advantageously in concrete exposed to marine or corrosive environments....
Fatigue Behavior of Bond-Anchored Unidirectional Glass-FRP's
The contribution reports on the fatigue behavior of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) bars, consisting of endless E-glass fibers embedded in a polyester (PE) matrix and anchored in a...
Flexural Strength of Externally Reinforced Concrete Beams
Results from tests of one rectangular and one T-beam are reported. The beams were strengthened by epoxy-bonding a 1/4 in. (6 mm) thick Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic plate along the tension...
Bond Strength of Fiber Reinforced Plastic Bars in Concrete
In this study, 27 beam specimens were tested to determine the bond strength of fiber reinforced plastic bars (FRP) in tension. The specimens were reinforced with #4, #6, or #8 FRP bars....
Significance of Yield Surface Corner-Like Effects in Inelastic Stability Solutions
This paper presents the author's experiences with finite element prediction of the inelastic stability of steel plate structures. The implications of linear versus nonlinear...
Bibliography of Steel Columns
This book, which was prepared by the Committee on Compression Members of the Structural Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, attempts to provide a complete bibliography...
Grouting Slip Liners: The New Inside Story
There are approximately 800,000 miles of water and sewer pipelines in the U.S. that need remedial work. About 2% need work each year, usually due to normal or accidental corrosion. Normal...
Numerical Evaluation of Energy Release Rates
Numerical studies are described that evaluate the total energy release rate, GT, for quasi-static, Mode I cracks using two-dimensional finite-element...
Fiberglas Reinforced Plastic Rebars in Lieu of Steel Rebars
Fiberglass reinforced plastics have recently been introduced in the market in the form of rebars for concrete reinforcement. The light weight, corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties...
Effect of Temperature on the Load-Carrying Capacity of Fiber Glass Reinforced Plastic Beams
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the behavior of two T shaped beams made of fiber glass reinforcement and polyester or vinylester binders. Tests were performed at...
Verification of Macroscopic Models for R/C Walls
Macroscopic models utilized in a plastic analysis for predicting the ultimate strength of reinforced concrete members have been developed in Japan as well as in Europe. In the JCI committee,...
Earthquake Resistant Design Using Friction Pendulum Connections
The Friction Pendulum System (FPS) offers a simple approach for increasing a structure's earthquake resistance. The approach uses steel connections which absorb earthquake...
Buckling Criteria for Earthquake-Induced Overturning Stresses in Cylindrical Liquid Storage Tanks
Perhaps one of the most common forms of seismic damage to cylindrical liquid storage tanks made out of steel is buckling of the tank wall due to vertical overturning stresses. Buckling...
Development of Inelastic Reduction Factors to Provide an Elastic Design Procedure
R factor values can only be rationally selected when they are based on in part nonlinear inelastic dynamic analyses of building system types. However, it is informative to discuss the...
