Monotonic and Fatigue Performance of RC Beams Strengthened with Externally Post-Tensioned CFRP Tendons
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-04)External post-tensioning is an attractive technique for strengthening reinforced concrete structures because of its ability to actively control stresses and deflections, speed of installation, minimum interruption for the ... -
Three-Dimensional CT Imaging and Microstructural Mechanical Modeling of Corrosion and Freeze-Thaw Damage of Concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-17)Corrosion and freeze-thaw can cause detrimental damage to concrete structures. Understanding concrete damage mechanisms at the micro-level can play an essential role in implementing effective preventive measures and efficient ... -
A three-dimensional damage percolation model
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-19)A combined experimental and analytical approach is used to study damage initiation and evolution in three-dimensional second phase particle fields. A three-dimensional formulation of a damage percolation model is developed ...
