Experimental Study of the Influence of Bond on the Flexural Behaviour of Concrete Beams Pre-tensioned with AFRPs
(The American Concrete Institute, 1999-06)An experimental program was formulated to investigate the flexural behaviour of concrete prestressed with aramid fibre reinforced plastic tendons (AFRPs). The particular focus was the influence of the bond between an AFRP ... -
Expansive cement couplers: A means of pre-tensioning fibre-reinforced plastic tendons
(Elsevier, 1995-12)Fibre reinforced plastics describes a group of materials composed of inorganic or organic fibres embedded in a resin matrix. frps are strong, non-magnetic, light-weight and for the most part, non-corrodable. There is great ... -
Analysis of Concrete Beams with Partially Bonded Composite Reinforcement
(American Concrete Institute, 2000-03-01)Beams prestressed with partially bonded fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) tendons have high strength and rotation capacity but cannot be modeled by conventional techniques. Herein, it is assumed that all deformation takes ... -
FRPs in Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Applications: Moving Forward
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2001-08-29)Recent developments in the use of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in reinforced and prestressed concrete applications are reviewed. The influence of FRP material properties on the design of concrete structures is considered ...
