Using panel data from 1990-2015 for selected BRICS (Brazil, India, China and South Africa)
countries, the study empirically evaluates the role of primary and secondary education levels …

Aiming to expand the structural applications of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), the
innovative approach of using the hybrid form of RAC-filled glass-fiber-reinforced polymer …

Both the peak dynamic force (PDF) and the equivalent static force (ESF) of a vehicle
collision with reinforced concrete bridge columns were examined as part of an extensive …

This paper presents a new composite confinement system of FRP wrap and PVC tube with
and without an impact absorption medium (compressible foam) in between. The …

The objective of this study was to evaluate three potential core alternatives for glass fiber
reinforced polymer (GFRP) foam-core sandwich panels. The proposed system could reduce …

Confinement of both existing and newly constructed reinforced concrete (RC) columns by
fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) has been commonly used in recent decades. This is because …

This paper presents the behavior of an innovative accelerated bridge construction system of
hollow-core fiber-reinforced polymer–concrete–steel (HC-FCS) columns under vehicle …

In their recent work Fakharifar and Chen (2016)[1] have introduced and validated a new
ductile design concept of confined concrete-filled polyvinyl-chloride tubular (CCFPT) …

One of the key applications of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) in structural engineering is to
provide confinement to the plastic hinge region of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns. Due …

Hybrid double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs), which consist of an outer fiber-reinforced
polymer (FRP) tube, an inner steel tube, and a concrete annular layer between the two …
