DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2019.109970
Abstract: Abstract Post installed rebars offer a convenient and robust solution for rehabilitation, retrofit and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures, whenever additional structural members might be required. Although certain post installed rebars have significantly higher bond… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2020.111072
Abstract: Abstract Reducing the cement content of concrete is of paramount importance towards sustainability, since its production process is highly energy-consuming and delivers massive CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. In this paper, the bond behaviour between… read more here.

DOI: 10.14359/51701237
Abstract: Use of thermomechanically treated (TMT) reinforcing bars has become popular in the concrete construction industry after their introduction in the 1980s. This can be attributed to the fact that thermomechanical treatment enhances the strength and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym14153051
Abstract: One of the disadvantages of reinforced concrete is the large weight of structures due to the steel reinforcement. A way to overcome this issue and develop new types of reinforcing elements is by using polymer… read more here.
