Reinforced concrete columns in chloride-laden environments are prone to steel
reinforcement corrosion, which reduces their capacity to resist applied loads. The current …

Compared with FRP flexural strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams, the mechanism
of shear strengthening is complex, and the brittle shear failure is more catastrophic. To …

Extensive experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the performance of fiber
reinforced concrete (FRC) beams that have been externally strengthened with and without …

This study is focused on the effect of basalt fiber on the road performance of the asphalt
mixture. The road performance of asphalt mixture with different dosages of basalt fiber was …

In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of Fiber
Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials as reinforcing elements in concrete structures due to …

Time-dependent reliability analysis of existing reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened
with externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wraps is conducted …

The evaluation of service conditions of concrete structures has still been carried out through
implicit knowledge based on the expertise and knowledge of inspectors, who classify …

A cost-efficient maintenance plan is crucial to ensure the reliability of decayed reinforced
concrete (RC) structures. A reliability-based optimization strategy is proposed that considers …

The use of externally bonded (EB) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) to strengthen existing
reinforced concrete flexural members is becoming a more heavily used practice due to the …

In the strength design method, the safety level is tried to be reached by using strength reduc-
tion factors ϕ applied to the nominal strengths. In the current ACI 318-19, the safety factors ϕ …
