The paper discusses the development of the advanced polymer composite material
applications in the building and civil/structural infrastructure over the past three to four …

Different applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) for external
strengthening in civil construction are reviewed in this paper. Experimental as well as …

This paper describes axial compression test results of 27 concrete cylinders confined by
carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite jackets. The experimental parameters include …

Extensive research has been carried out in recent years on the use of fibre-reinforced
polymer (FRP) composites in the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This …

The confining stress in FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) confined concrete is dependent on the
lateral strain of the concrete but the lateral strain of the concrete is dependent on the …

One of the most promising applications of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is in
reinforced concrete columns. This paper provides a review of recent research in this area …

Reinforced concrete columns lacking transverse reinforcing steel do not possess necessary
ductility to dissipate seismic energy during a major earthquake. The study reported herein …

Extensive investigations on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete columns have been
undertaken in recent years and many retrofitting methods have been developed and …

Reinforced concrete columns can be strengthened by a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
jacket which provides lateral confinement to the column. This technique is very effective for …

This paper presents a novel anchor system called U-anchor that can be used to significantly
improve the performance of surface mounted reinforcement for concrete/masonry made of …
