Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Curing Temperature and MMA Content on the Working Life of MMA-Modified Vinyl Ester Polymer ConcreteKi-Bong Choi, Seung-Ho Min, Kyu-Seok YeonThe main purpose of this study is to identify the effects of curing temperature and methyl methacrylate (MMA) content on the working life of vinyl ester polymer concreteusing MMA as a monomer, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMP) and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKPO) as initiators and cobalt naphthenate as a promoter. The results have shown that the working life of vinyl ester polymer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2017 · 7,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSetting Shrinkage Characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate-Modified Vinyl Ester Polymer ConcreteKi-Bong Choi, Seung-Ho Min, Kyu-Seok YeonThis study evaluated the setting shrinkage characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)-modified vinyl ester polymer concrete with different curing ages, MMA contents and curing temperatures. Results have shown that most of the setting shrinkage developed within 24 h after curing initiation. It was also found that an increase in MMA content led to an almost linear decrease in setting shrinkage, indicating … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 17 May 2016 · 8,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Use of the Super Absorbent Polymer as Water Blocker in Concrete StructuresMoayyad Al-Nasra, Mohammad Daoudb, Taher M. Abu-LebdehAdding super absorbent polymer to the concrete mix improves the performance of the concrete in its both stages; fresh concrete and hardened concrete. The super absorbent polymer has the ability to absorb relatively large amount of water and convert it into gel at the same time the volume increases proportionally. The new modified concrete has the ability to retain water … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2015 · 8,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDuctility Behavior Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened With Externally Bonded Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer LaminatesMariappan Mahalingam, Ragunath Pulipakka Narashima Rao, Suguna KannanThe study presents the results of an experimental investigation conducted on Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) beams with externally bonded Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) laminates with a view to study their strength and ductility. 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 titleStrengthening of Corrosion-Damaged Reinforced Concrete Beams with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer LaminatesA. Leema Rose, K. Suguna, P. N. RagunathProblem statement: This study showed the results of an experimental investigation on the strengthening of corrosion damaged reinforced concrete beams with unidirectional cloth glass fiber reinforced polymer (UDCGFRP) laminates. Approach: All the beam specimens 150×250×3000 mm were cast and tested for the present investigation. One beam specimen was neither corroded nor strengthened to serve as a reference. Two beams were … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReliability of Axially Loaded Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer Confined Reinforced Concrete Circular ColumnsVenkatarman Nagaradjane, Pulipaka Narasimharao Raghunath, Kannan SugunaMonte-Carlo simulation based procedure was applied for assessing the reliability of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) confined reinforced concrete columns. Assessment of reliability provides a quantitative measure of effectiveness of repair. Problem Statement: The procedure presented in the paper could be used for assessing the reliability of reinforced concrete columns before and after the application of FRP wrap, thus helping to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrength Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Beam with Externally Bonded Fibre Reinforcement Polymer ReinforcementN. Pannirselvam, P.N. Raghunath, K. SugunaThis research study presents the evaluation of the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams with externally bonded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcements. Three different steel ratios with two different Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) types and two different thicknesses in each type of GFRP were used. Totally fifteen rectangular beams of 3 m length were cast. Three rectangular beams were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSustainable Study of Self-Healing Concrete in Hot Desert ClimateBatoul Chamali, Moayyad Al-Nasra, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe hot and dry desert climate is characterized by high temperature and high humidity. This affects the strength of concrete negatively by the difficulty of providing proper curing and by generating early micro-cracks due to the high temperature. These two issues have been addressed in this study by adding calcite precipitating bacteria to deal with the micro-cracks and by adding … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 16 May 2019 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigating Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns with SFRP Using Finite Element MethodJalil Khani, Mohsen Bozorg, Seyed Mehdi ZahraiCurrently, various methods have been used for repairing and retrofitting reinforced concrete columns including Steel Fiber Reinforced Polymer (SFRP) jackets in order to improve load bearing capacity. However, the enclosure mechanism is less known by consideration of the effects of slender columns which needs much more studies. Avoiding the buckling of a slender Reinforced Concrete (RC) column against the compressive … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2018 · 8,669 accessesView PDFCite
