Accepting the challenge of the future in the field of civil engineering smart structure applications, the province of Manitoba is undertaking the responsibility of constructing the first bridge in Canada totally prestressed and reinforced for shear by cru:bon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) reinforcement. Portion of the concrete deck slab is also reinforced exclusively by FRP reinforcements. Th...

Selecting appropriate bonding technique is crucial for strengthening and repairing concrete structures as different bonding techniques have different performances. A state-of–the-art review of different bonding techniques that is epoxy bonding technique, prestressed strengthening technique, unbonded anchored technique/mechanically fastened technique using CFRP is dealt and the corresponding adv...

The stress-distribution angle is an important parameter for the design of retaining walls and foundation beds has a non-negligible role in rationality engineering design. There lack research on stress distribution reinforced earth-retaining under cyclic loading. In order to study characteristics geogrid-reinforced soil-retaining (GRSW) loading, GRSW different number load cycles were analyzed by...
