Basalt Fibers (BF) have been increasingly used to produce various composite
materials/products due to their many superior properties, such as being natural fiber, high …

In practical engineering, reinforced concrete (RC) structures are often seriously damaged by
design defect, artificial destruction and natural disasters, and need to be strengthened. The …

The increasing cost of new infrastructure in addition to the gradual decline in the structural
integrity of current aging infrastructure has necessitated studies for sustainable materials for …

This paper addresses the evaluation of the effects of corrosion on the performance of ageing
steel industrial infrastructures. A novel probabilistic risk assessment method is presented …

As the structural integrity of North America's aging infrastructure decreases, there is an
urgent need for finding new and cost-effective methods for rehabilitating these structures …

The deterioration of aging infrastructures and global initiative for the use of sustainable
materials in construction necessitate use of eco-friendly materials for rehabilitation of these …

Basalt fibre fabric is made of igneous rock called basalt and hence, it is a sustainable
material which can be used for strengthening and rehabilitation of structural components. As …

Fatigue damage is a major threat to the safety and integrity of many steel structures. Steel
hydraulic structures (SHS), in particular, experience fatigue loading during operation and …

Deterioration of concrete structures is imminent with time, especially those subjected to the
harsh environment in places like North America. The high cost associated with the …

This research study presents the experimental results of using basalt fibre reinforced
polymer (BFRP) fabrics to flexurally strengthen reinforced concrete (RC), structural …
