Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalytical Study of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by FRP Bars Subjected to Impact Loading ConditionsSajjad Roudsari, Sameer Hamoush, Sayed Soleimani et al.Civil engineers have considered Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials to enhance the performance of structural members subjected to static and dynamic loading conditions. However, there are some design limitations due to uncertainty in the behavior of such strengthened members. This fact is particularly important when considering the complex nature of the nonlinear behavior of materials, the impact loading conditions and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Apr 2018 · 9,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrength, Chloride Permeability and Corrosion of Coarse Fly Ash Concrete with Bagasse-Rice Husk-Wood Ash AdditiveVeera Horsakulthai, Kittichat PaopongpaiboonThis study studied the utilization of Bagasse-Rice Husk-Wood Ash (BRWA) as an additive for improving the strength and durability of coarse Fly Ash (FA) concrete. The ground BRWA was used as an additive for maintaining the consistent slump of FA concrete. The strength, chloride permeability and corrosion resistance were investigated. The chloride permeability of concrete was evaluated using the measurement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 14 Mar 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite

A total of ten beams, 150×250 mm in cross-section were tested in the laboratory over an effective span of 2800 mm. Three fiber reinforced concrete … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRate Effect on Pullout Behavior of Steel Fibers Embedded in Very-High Strength ConcreteTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Brian ZornigProblem statement: Rate dependence of the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) composites has received little or no attention so far. Approach: In this research, the bond-slip mechanisms of four types of steel fibers embedded in VHSC matrices were investigated through single-fiber pullout tests with the loading rates and matrix strengths are the primary variables. This study presented the experimental results of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePullout Characterizations of Various Steel Fibers Embedded in Very High-Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Toney Cummins, Brian ZornigProblem statement: There is a real need for a fundamental understanding of bond and bond mechanisms in the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) materials. The interfacial steel fiber/VHSC matrix bond tests are needed to characterize VHSC and to aid in the development of analytical models that describe bond behavior of this new material. Approach: This research investigated bond-slip characteristics of four … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
