Externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been widely
used as repairing or strengthening materials for deteriorated reinforced concrete (RC) …

One environment that hinders the performance of reinforced concrete is fire. In most cases,
this results in the affected part or the entire structure being rendered useless or completely …

Since the strengthening of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar-reinforced structures after a
fire incident has rarely been considered in research works, in this work, the flexural …

In this paper, an innovative basalt fabric-reinforced shotcrete system is proposed for the
flexural strengthening of fire-damaged RC slabs for the first time. An extensive experimental …

In many places, the concrete structures suffered from impacted-damage need to be repaired.
Herein, a 3-D numerical meso-scale model was established to study the mechanical …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures perform well during fire and may be repaired after the
fire incident because their low heat conductivity prevents the loss or degradation of …

The effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in improving the strengthening efficiency of carbon
fiber/epoxy composites retrofitted reinforced concrete (RC) beams was investigated. A total …

Many researchers investigated the factors affecting the bond between steel and concrete.
Studying the residual bond behavior after subjected to fire and how to restore the bond …

The behavior of concrete containing waste glass as a replacement of cement or aggregate
was studied previously in the most of researches, but the present investigation focuses on …

This investigation focuses on the assessment of the residual (after cooling) bond strength
between concrete and steel rebars of reinforced concrete elements after exposure to …
