this study evaluates two different types of techniques for concrete hollow-block sections reinforced with traditional steel rebars and wire meshes, and compares their structural behaviour to that of an ordinary reinforced concrete beam section. the comparisons are based on the responses both before and after they were repaired with glass fibre reinforced polymers (gfrp). the specimens were subj...

  Objective: Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) posts have recently become more popular for restoring endodontically treated teeth because of providing esthetics, better stress distribution and lower risk of root fracture. Resistance against tensile forces dislodging the post from the root canal is a prerequisite for these posts. This study aimed to evaluate the tensile retention (strength) of in...

This paper experimentally investigates the behavior of a non-prismatic concrete frame using different types under static and repeated loads. The parametric study includes changing type (conventional concrete, steel fiber reactive powder (SF-RPC) glass (GF-RPC)) loading (static repeated). results were presented discussed effect SF-RPC GF-RPC on behavior, compared with conventional through first ...

The Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polyurea (GFRPU) which is the composite by elastic polyurea and milled glass fiber have mechanical characteristics to enhance tensile strength as well ductility. It must be reinforcement materials in repair retrofit applications for strengthening structural capacity has a merit of simple construction spray coating prevent debonding from concrete surfaces unlike existi...

This paper presents a computational model for predicting the location at which the glass fiber solidifies during a highspeed drawing process. Although modeling of the optic fiber drawing process has been of interest for the past two decades, traditional fiber drawing process uses small diameter preforms and low draw speeds, where the glass usually solidifies and turns into fiber inside the furn...

Background Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) is a promising class of material that gives clinicians alternative treatment options. There are many FRC products available in the market based on either glass or polyethylene fiber type. The aim of this study was to present a comparison between glass and polyethylene fiber reinforced composites based on available literature review. Material and Met...
