Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite is an attractive material for strengthening various civil infrastructures. The system that based on FRP composites consists of many elements. These are: (FRP), strengthened element (concrete, steel, wood, etc) and bonding agent. latter the most important elements which affect performance whole system. Different types agent are used service conditions. Ep...

There is a concern with worldwide deterioration of highway bridges, particularly reinforced concrete. Due to the corrosive nature of steel re-bars used in concrete bridge decks, the service-life of these bridges is reduced. The advantages of advanced composite materials (ACM) over conventional materials motivate their use in highway bridges for rehabilitation and replacement of structures. Howe...

Conventional fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have a relatively linear stress–strain behavior up to the failure point. Therefore, they show brittle until Shape memory alloys, in addition having high ductility and good energy dissipation capability, are highly resistant corrosion performance against fatigue. using SMA fibers production of FRPs can be suitable solution solve problem conventional ...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have gained popularity in civil, mechanical, aircraft, and chemical engineering domains due to their superior mechanical properties durability. They been used for strength durability enhancements of civil structures a wide range steel subject static (flexure, compression) dynamic (fatigue, impact, seismic) loads strengthened retrofitted. The en...

This paper provides a review of some of the progress in the area of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP)-strengthening of columns for several loading scenarios including impact load. The addition of FRP materials to upgrade deficiencies or to strengthen structural components can save lives by preventing collapse, reduce the damage to infrastructure, and the need for their costly replacement. The ret...

Soil–steel composite bridges (SSCB) have become increasingly popular for short-span as an alternative to concrete slab mainly due their low initial cost, rapid manufacture, simplified construction, and geometrical adaptability. SSCBs a variety of applications can be used over waterways or roadways. While conventional tend lose load-carrying capacity degradation, gain strength because backfill s...
