Exposure to load and offshore environment degrades the load-bearing capacity of tubular
joints, necessitating reinforcement of these joints. Reinforcement is sometimes required for …

U-rib butt-welded connections in steel bridge decks are known to be highly susceptible to
fatigue cracking, which can pose a direct threat to the safety and durability of bridge …

This study evaluates the mechanical response for different flexural loading direction
scenarios of the fiber metal laminates (FMLs), an aluminum structure retrofitted with basalt …

This study focused on the interfacial bond behavior of steel-CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced
polymer) adhesion joint associations with different steel surface treatments through typical …

As construction moves towards modularization and prefabrication, adhered joints have
become increasingly prevalent across civil infrastructure, particularly in automotive, naval …

An improved CFRP-square hollow steel tube (CFRP-SHST) composite member
strengthened with a thick-walled section at each end of the steel tube was proposed to …

This work investigated the effect of embedded metal wire nets on both double-point low-
velocity impact (LVI) and compression-after-double-impact (CAI) behaviors of glass fiber …

This paper investigates fatigue durability of FRP-steel double-lap shear bonded structure in
seawater environment. Three simulated environments (original-salinity seawater dry-wet …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is extensively utilized to strengthen steel structures.
However, the premature debonding failure of CFRP inhibits its validity in strengthening …

In this paper, field blast tests and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the
damage mechanism of glass fiber reinforced polymer plates under explosion loadings. Six …
