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...
Uni- and Bi-Axial Compressive Fatigue of Fiber Concrete
Fatigue behavior of fiber reinforced concrete is studied under uniaxial and biaxial loadings. The S-N curves and the cyclic deformations of fiber concrete are compared to those of plain...
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....
AE Instrumentation and Deconvolution Techniques
This paper describes the difficulties and solutions achieved in applying advanced Acoustic Emission (AE) signal analysis techniques to fracture mechanics. The test specimen is a double...
Displacement Measurement by Laser Interferometry and Image Analysis
Laser holographic interferometry was used for the evaluation of displacement fields on concrete and fiber reinforced concrete specimens. Transmission holography was used to analyze mortar...
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...
Anomalous Structural Size Effect in Cohesive Materials Like Concrete
This contribution analyses on theoretical grounds the size effect trends in special cases where - unlike most experimental situations in fracture research - the specimen is not precracked...
ASCE Salary Survey 1989
The 20th biennial ASCE salary survey of the engineering profession conducted by the ASCE Committee on Employment Conditions during the fourth quarter of 1989 is presented. It consists...
More Than a Public Hearing
Too often, required community input is reduced to the sometimes dreaded public hearing. Many formal public-involvement programs are comprised of no more than this minimal, yet essential,...
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...
Seismic Risk Considerations for Transportation Systems
During the recent Loma Prieta Earthquake, major damage to certain key transportation elements greatly affected operations of major transportation systems within the San Francisco Bay Area....
Probabilistic Prediction of Losses to Lifeline Systems Due to Earthquakes
An efficient and practical method for earthquake loss estimation for lifelines is developed, using the recent advances made in the areas of lifeline earthquake engineering and probabilistic...
Structural Details: Is Anything Missing?
While actual failure of a structure is uncommon, many projects have less publicized, detailing-related difficulties involving rework, changes, clarifications, and increased costs. If the...
Recent Lifeline Seismic Risk Studies
This monograph is a collection of four papers presented at the 1990 Annual Civil Engineering Convention and Exposition in San Francisco, California. The papers summarize seismic loss and...
Structures Congress Abstracts 1990
Abstract only. The following themes are included: Rehabilitation and future challenges, Bridges, Earthquake engineering, Dynamic loads on structures, Metals and composite construction,...
Summary Report on the Computer Analysis of the Colossus
This chapter briefly discusses the results of a computer analysis of the Colossus....
Deck Park Covers Phoenix Freeway
The last link in interstate I-10, the coast to coast highway from Florida to California, will be completed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1989. The last eleven-mile section through Phoenix has...
