DOI: 10.1016/j.compstruct.2020.111947
Abstract: Abstract Externally bonded (EB) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been effectively employed to strengthen existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, relatively limited information is available regarding the long-term behavior of FRP-concrete joints. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2021.124090
Abstract: Abstract In the case of concrete structures, moisture ingress can induce deterioration of the material weakening the structure. Changes in the hydraulic material properties control the flow speed and flow duration and thus the intensity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2021.124783
Abstract: Abstract Often concrete structures cannot be regarded as monolithic since discontinuities like cracks and joints develop inevitably during construction and service life. Joints are not only introduced coincidentally at interfaces of different concreting steps, they… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app9050854
Abstract: The mechanical behavior of the steel–concrete joints in a composite bridge was investigated. Pull-out tests on eight specimens were carried out to evaluate the connection performance of Perfobond rib shear connectors (PBL shear connectors). In… read more here.
