The waste sector operates in some of the toughest conditions imaginable, but with informed design, modern material ...

Abstract: Wrapping of reinforced concrete columns with fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) is being used as a common method to enhance their behavior to resist compression loads. The present study focuses ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical study of axial behavior of circular concrete columns reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars and spirals. A nonlinear finite element (FE) ...

Since fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are superior to traditional steel reinforcements, they are widely used in advanced concrete technology. By using a combination of fibres and FRP ...
