The specialized application of prestressing the near-surface mounted (NSM) fibre reinforced
polymer (FRP) reinforcement for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structures …

The use of composite materials such as fibre reinforced polymers in strengthening and
repairing of structural elements, particularly those made of reinforced concrete, is widely …

Ductility plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of a structure, as its inadequacy can lead
to sudden and brittle failure. Despite its significance, there is no explicit method for …

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are widely used in the strengthening of concrete structures
due to their light weight, high strength, and good durability. For precast concrete structures …

This paper proposes a novel method for strengthening existing timber beams that can
effectively improve the deformability of beams. As high-performance engineered bamboo …

Using locally available raw materials, such as seawater, sea sand, and coral reefs, for
construction on remote islands is conducive to saving costs and shortening the construction …

Carbon/glass hybrid composite (CGHC) laminates are some of the most promising
composites for lightweight applications. Sometimes these laminates are used in warm …

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are linear elastic materials that are widely used to
reinforce newly built bridges and strengthen existing structures due to its high strength and …

To limit the cross-sectional size of concrete structures, high-strength, lightweight concrete is
preferred for the design and construction of structural elements. However, the main …

Reinforcement of polymers with small addition of nanofillers has been intensively
investigated. It has been suggested that combination of few-layer graphene nanoplatelets …
