This book was released on 2017 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bond between spliced Carbon Fiber Composite Cables (CFCC) and concrete is a critical design parameter that controls the performance of reinforced concrete members at service and ultimate limit states. Bond of spliced bars is dependent on transfer of tensile stress from the spliced reinforcement to the surrounding concrete which is in turn counts on various parameters such as: strand diameter, splice length, and surface configuration. The current design codes for steel reinforcement (ACI 318-14; CSA A23.3-94) are not applicable to FRPs due to the substantial differences in their mechanical properties. However, ACI 440 Committee has developed an equation to estimate the average bond strength for FRP bars from GFRP database that rendered conservative and inconvenient for the CFCC reinforcement. Therefore, more research is required to examine and quantify the average bond strength of the spliced CFCC reinforcement. Three types of bond tests were considered in this investigation; bond fatigue, flexure bond, and shear bond. To determine the CFCC upper value of bond strength, a pullout test was conducted on 29 small-scale specimens according to ACI 440.3R. These specimens consisted of concrete cubes reinforced with a single 0.6 in. (15.2 mm) CFCC strand embedded vertically along the central axis inside concrete. The high values of bond strength exhibited in static pullout tests did not reflect that in structural members where cover splitting or slippage of the strands could govern ultimate failure. For that purpose, and to study the bond strength of CFCC reinforcement, two different test configurations were examined in flexure and shear. In the flexure bond study, ten beams reinforced with two different sizes of CFCC strands of 0.5 in. (12.5 mm) and 0.6 in. (15.2 mm) that were tested under four point loading flexural test setup to failure. The beams were divided into two series, each series consisted of five beam specimens, one beam reinforced with continuous CFCC strands and four beams reinforced with spliced CFCC strands in the constant moment region with splice lengths of 1 ft (305 mm), 2 ft (610 mm), 3 ft (914 mm), and 4 ft. (1219 mm). The shear bond study for CFCC stirrups involved the construction and testing of four prestressed box-beams under shear loading test setup to failure. Further, to assess the performance of CFCC stirrups against that of steel, CFCC stirrups were provided from one beam end and steel stirrups were provided from the other beam end. The shear loading system of the box-beams included loading CFCC reinforced beam ends to failure followed by testing the steel stirrup beam ends under identical shear load configuration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen years on from its last edition, Cable Supported Bridges: Concept and Design, Third Edition, has been significantly updated with new material and brand new imagery throughout. Since the appearance of the second edition, the focus on the dynamic response of cable supported bridges has increased, and this development is recognised with two new chapters, covering bridge aerodynamics and other dynamic topics such as pedestrian-induced vibrations and bridge monitoring. This book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges, suspension as well as cable stayed, covering both design and construction aspects. The emphasis is on the conceptual design phase where the main features of the bridge will be determined. Based on comparative analyses with relatively simple mathematical expressions, the different structural forms are quantified and preliminary optimization demonstrated. This provides a first estimate on dimensions of the main load carrying elements to give in an initial input for mathematical computer models used in the detailed design phase. Key features: Describes evolution and trends within the design and construction of cable supported bridges Describes the response of structures to dynamic actions that have attracted growing attention in recent years Highlights features of the different structural components and their interaction in the entire structural system Presents simple mathematical expressions to give a first estimate on dimensions of the load carrying elements to be used in an initial computer input This comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of cable supported bridges provides an invaluable, tried and tested resource for academics and engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first textbook on the design of FRP for structural engineering applications Composites for Construction is a one-of-a-kind guide to understanding fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and designing and retrofitting structures with FRP. Written and organized like traditional textbooks on steel, concrete, and wood design, it demystifies FRP composites and demonstrates how both new and retrofit construction projects can especially benefit from these materials, such as offshore and waterfront structures, bridges, parking garages, cooling towers, and industrial buildings. The code-based design guidelines featured in this book allow for demonstrated applications to immediately be implemented in the real world. Covered codes and design guidelines include ACI 440, ASCE Structural Plastics Design Manual, EUROCOMP Design Code, AASHTO Specifications, and manufacturer-published design guides. Procedures are provided to the structural designer on how to use this combination of code-like documents to design with FRP profiles. In four convenient sections, Composites for Construction covers: * An introduction to FRP applications, products and properties, and to the methods of obtaining the characteristic properties of FRP materials for use in structural design * The design of concrete structural members reinforced with FRP reinforcing bars * Design of FRP strengthening systems such as strips, sheets, and fabrics for upgrading the strength and ductility of reinforced concrete structural members * The design of trusses and frames made entirely of FRP structural profiles produced by the pultrusion process

This book was released on 2009 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials have emerged as an alternative material for producing reinforcing bars for concrete structures. GFRP reinforcing bars offer advantages over steel reinforcement due to their noncorrosive nature and nonconductive behavior. Due to other differences in the physical and mechanical behavior of GFRP materials as opposed to steel, unique guidance on the engineering and construction of concrete bridge decks reinforced with GFRP bars is needed. These guide specifications offer a description of the unique material properties of GFRP composite materials as well as provisions for the design and construction of concrete bridge decks and railings reinforced with GFRP reinforcing bars.
