Computed Tomography (CT) scanning has served as an important non-destructive research tool by providing twoand three-dimensional images particularly in medicine, biology and materials science. An example of its application in the area of materials is reported. Experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of location within column element on the strength and porosity characterist...

During recent years, the use of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) as a desirable alternative for improving the behavior of lateral resisting system are known. There are various factors influencing the quality of such kind of rehabilitation. This study aims to investigate the influence of geometric characteristics and arrangement of FRP layers on rehabilitating of concrete shear walls.  A few rein...

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete is recent introduction in the field of concrete technology. The present day world is witnessing the construction of very challenging and difficult Civil Engineering Structures. Concrete being the most important and widely used material is called upon to possess very high strength and sufficient workability properties. Concrete the most widely used consrtuction ma...

Several building codes are available for the design of concrete structures reinforced with FRP; nevertheless knowledge on their structural behavior in case of fire is lack and no reliable design method is available. The experimental data available in the literature about the behavior of fiber-reinforced composite materials as well as of concrete slabs reinforced with FRP bars or grids at high t...
