Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar has emerged as a preferable alternative to steel in reinforced concrete (RC) members harsh, corrosive, coastal environments order eliminate corrosion problems. However, only limited experimental studies are available on the performance and behavior of columns with GFRP bars under different loading conditions. This study investigates use helices (spirals) longitudinal transversal reinforcement, respectively, RC columns. A total 12 circular specimens...
SUMMARY This paper presents the preliminary research works on a potential seismic isolation method that makes use of scrap rubber tires for protection low‐to‐medium‐rise buildings. The involves mixing shredded tire particles with soil materials and placing mixtures around building foundations, which provides function similar to cushion. Meanwhile, stockpiling is significant threat our environment, engineering community has been looking long‐term viable solutions recycling reuse rubber. A...
Scrap tire disposal has been a critical environmental problem in many urban cities due to the huge increase number of vehicles. Significant research efforts have devoted recent years explore use scrap tires civil engineering application, as reuse or recycling is preferred option from waste management perspective. This paper investigates shear and compressibility behavior sand–tire crumb (S-TC) mixtures for their application projects. Unlike other studies where chips shreds were used,...
This paper investigates the influence of different types steel fibers on engineering properties ambient cured alkali-activated slag–fly ash concrete. The investigated include workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile flexural direct and stress–strain response under axial compression. Three fibers, i.e., straight micro fiber, deformed macro fiber hybrid were added to mixes. It was found that workability concrete mixes decreased with increase in volume fraction fibers. also strength...
Existing design codes and guidelines do not adequately address the of concrete columns reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. Accordingly, a number research studies investigated behavior FRP bar-reinforced columns. However, previous were limited to normal-strength (NSC) In this study, glass (GFRP) high-strength (HSC) specimens under different loading conditions was in terms axial load-carrying capacity, confinement efficiency GFRP helices, as well ductility post-peak load-axial...
Contradictory results have been published on the effect of sea sand and seawater in concrete as opposed to conventional river freshwater. The majority studies show equivalent, if not better, when are used concrete, although some concluded otherwise. This paper investigates variations chemical physical properties sand. It has found that each sample is unique, which might be reason for contradictory findings current literature. Chemical were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope...
