Evaluation on the Thermal Resistance Capacity of Fire Proof Materials for Improving Fire Resistance of Near-Surface-Mounted FRP in Concrete

Fire resistance of FRP reinforced glulam beams

Thin laminates made of high-strength pultruded fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are increasingly being used to reinforce glue-laminated timber (glulam) beams, creating a new composite glulam (FRP glulam) significantly stronger in bending than a conventional (unreinforced) glulam of equal size. Large timber members have long been recognized for maintaining structural integrity in fires and this p...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Evaluating the Fire Performance of FRP-strengthened Concrete Structures

the effect of authentic listening materials on the listening proficiency of efl learners in the intermediate level

having conducted the experiment and analysed the data, the researcher computed the groups mean scores and variances for the test relating to the research question. as the final atep, a t-test was conodonted for the hypothesis. as noted earlier, the significance level was determined at .05 and .01 respectively. the observed t-value was higher than the critical t-value at. 5 and .01 levels. conse...

Fire Resistance of Concrete with Fly Ash Content – Experimental Analysis

The paper presents results from three large scale experiments on seven reinforced concrete panels obtained during an extensive experimental program. This was aimed at possible application of cement reduced (fly ash replaced) concrete in the production of precast segmental linings for tunnels created by a tunnel boring machine (TBM). In particular, this paper is focused on the comparison of fire...
