This study compares the performances of three types of repair jackets on mainshock (MS)
earthquake-damaged RC bridge columns subjected to aftershock (AS) attacks. These repair …

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is becoming increasingly attractive
in construction of new structures. However, the inherent linear elastic behavior of FRP …

Two kinds of porous polymer were prepared based on high functionality components.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is used to compare the thermal degradation behavior and …

Polyurea (PUA) aerogel is a kind of advanced material with excellent thermal and
