The bending performance of a basalt-polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete (HBPFRC) was characterized by testing 24,400 × 100 mm3 prismatic specimens in four-point test JSCE-SF4 configuration. type and content both fibers were varied order to guarantee different target levels post-cracking flexural performance. results evidenced that mono-micro basalt fiber reinforced (BFRC) allows the increas...

Corrosion of concrete reinforcement members has been recognized as a predominant structural deterioration mechanism for steel reinforced concrete structures. Many corrosion detection techniques have been developed for reinforced concrete structures, but a dependable one is more than desired. Acoustic emission technique and fiber optic sensing have emerged as new tools in the field of structural...

This article proposes hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HFRC) mixed with polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA) and polypropylene steel (FST) as a wall construction material to improve the bearing capacity durability of frozen shaft lining structures in deep alluvium. According stress characteristics engineering environment lining, strength, impermeability, freeze–thaw damage, corrosion resistance are t...

In this study, the tensile and compressive behaviors of pure and hybrid composite laminates reinforced by basalt–nylon bi-woven intra-ply fabrics were experimentally investigated. Epoxy resin was used as the matrix material. The purpose of using this hybrid composite is to obtain superior characteristics by using the good strength property of basalt fiber with the excellent toughness of ny...

. this paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on shear strength enhancement of reinforced concrete deep beams externally reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (frp) composites. a total of six deep beam specimens of two different classes, as-built (unstrengthened) and retrofitted were tested in the experimental evaluation program. two composite systems namely carbon/epoxy...
