Behaviour of Post-Tensioned Slab Bridges with FRP Reinforcement under Monotonic and Fatigue Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2013-07-02)The introduction of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) to the field of civil engineering has led to numerous research efforts focusing on a wide range of applications where properties such as high strength, light weight or ... -
Bond Behaviour of Beams Reinforced with Near Surface Mounted Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Rods under Fatigue Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-19)Over the past decade, extensive research has been conducted on the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using externally bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). More recently, near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP ... -
Fatigue Design and Behaviour of Carburized Steel
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-02)Steel is an essential component used in infrastructure, automobiles, machines and many other areas due to its low cost and high tensile strength. Carburization is a heat treatment process commonly used to harden and ... -
Fatigue Flexural Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Non-Prestressed and Prestressed Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars
(University of Waterloo, 2015-06-18)Basalt fibers have recently been introduced as a promising alternative to the existing fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) family. The mechanical properties of basalt FRP (BFRP) bars are, generally, better than those of glass ... -
Fatigue Testing and Analysis of Aluminum and Steel Partial Joint Penetration (PJP) Welds for Bridge Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-30)Partial joint penetration (PJP) welds are a cost-effective alternative to full penetration welds and have certain advantages, especially in situations where a full penetration weld is unnecessary and the stress on the weld ... -
Flexural Fatigue Behaviour of Corroded Pretensioned Beams and Their Repair Using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Sheets
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-24)The study presented in this thesis investigated the flexural fatigue behaviour of non-corroded and corroded pretensioned beams and examined the use of externally bonded Carbon Fibre Reinforcement Polymer (CFRP) sheets as ... -
Jerk as a Method of Identifying Physical Fatigue and Skill Level in Construction Work
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-26)Researchers have shown that physically demanding work, characterized by forceful exertions, repetition, and prolonged duration can result in fatigue. Physical fatigue has been identified as a risk factor for both acute and ... -
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 ... -
Partial Joint Penetration Welds in Aluminum Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-29)Aluminum structures are becoming more and more common in Canada and the world as engineers and decision-makers become more aware of the possibility to lower life cycle costs. Aluminum's corrosion resistance, light weight ...
