Correlation of Tensile Strength to Flexural Rupture Modulus of GFRP Bars
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-04)Glass fibre reinforcing polymer (GFRP) bars are becoming a more comparable alternative to steel rebar used as tensile reinforcement for concrete, due to their cost effectiveness compared to other alternatives. GFRP has ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Shear Behaviour of Slender Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-19)Glass fibre-reinforced polymers (GFRP) are being used as longitudinal and shear reinforcement in specialized concrete applications. GFRP products are designed as direct replacements for conventional steel reinforcement and ... -
Finite Element Modelling of GFRP Reinforced Concrete Beams
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-29)The numerical modelling of twelve concrete beams reinforced with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) longitudinal and transverse bars was performed by the author using the finite element analysis (FEA) software ABAQUS. ... -
Investigating the effects of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer fabrics and bars on the flexural behaviour of sawn timber and glulam beams
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-11)As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue worldwide, the buildings and construction industry remains to be a significant contributor to global carbon emissions. To address this, construction materials with ... -
Quality Assessment of Composite Materials using Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-17)Non-destructive ultrasonic evaluation (NDE) is commonly used for assessment of civil infrastructure and characterization of construction materials. It is an efficient technique that could save millions of dollars with ... -
Tests on Concrete Beams with GFRP Flexural and Shear Reinforcements & Analysis Method for Indeterminate Strut-and-Tie Models with Brittle Reinforcements
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-18)This thesis is a summary of research on the use of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and stirrups as internal reinforcement for concrete beams. Fibre reinforced polymer bars are geometrically similar to conventional ... -
Tests on GFRP Reinforced Concrete Knee-Joints Subjected to Negative Moments
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-22)The use of glass-fibre reinforced polymers as main reinforcement in concrete structures has become an appealing option for structures in aggressive environments. Concrete knee-joints are joints where the beam and column ...
