A concise state-of-the-art survey of fiber-reinforced polymer (also known as fiber-reinforced
plastic) composites for construction applications in civil engineering is presented. The paper …

Abstract The use of Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites appears as a
compatible and effective technique to strengthen masonry structures. The use of FRCM …

This paper presents the results of an experimental programme concerning 88 concrete pull-
out specimens prepared according to ACI 440.3 R-04 and CSA S806-02 standards. Rebars …

Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly used—and there is a
staggering demand for it. However, as we strive to build taller structures with improved …

The bond behavior of reinforcing bars in concrete is a critical issue in the design of
reinforced concrete structures. This study focuses on the bond strength of fiber reinforced …

The use of near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rods is a promising
technology for increasing flexural and shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) members …

An analytical model for fully encapsulated rock bolts subjected to tensile load in pull-out
tests is presented. This model is based on the bond–slip relationship describing the …

This study analyzes the precious data from the literature on bond strength between concrete
and CFRP bars associated with the pullout test. In this regard, an overview of the pullout test …

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures often need to be repaired, strengthened and
upgraded to satisfy current code requirements. In recent years many interventions have …

In steel fiber-reinforced composites materials, fiber and matrix are bonded together through
a weak interface. The study of this interfacial behavior is important for understanding the …
