Fire safety is a critical performance aspect of construction products, and post-installed anchors and rebars are no exemption in that regard. During their service life, anchors and rebars are subjected to different kinds of load actions, so they have...
Post-installed rebars (PIRs) using mortar can offer bond strength at ambient temperature equal or higher to that of cast-in place rebars. However, high temperatures have the effect of weakening the bond, typically governed by the chemical and physica...
Damage to large reinforced concrete structures is rarely due to design errors. Sometimes, however, a small error can lead to major damage and costly repairs. The article describes the damage, the results of non-destructive and destructive tests, the...
In bridge reinforcement projects, damaged T-beams are the most common objects for reinforcement, yet the interface bonding and bending performance of UHPC reinforcement on T-beams have hardly been studied. To ensure the reliability and stability of U...
Previously conducted studies have established that all-light ceramsite concrete has the characteristics of light weight and high strength. It is a good material for strengthening and has a good application prospect when strengthening existing RC colu...
Post-installed anchor systems are widely used in several applications both for retrofit and new constructions due to their flexibility and easiness of installation. For these reasons, their use is very common to connect safety barriers to concrete co...
Post-installed systems for the anchorage of safety barriers to bridge corbels are widely used today thanks to their flexibility and easiness of installation. Because of commonly found in situ boundary constraints, however, the design requirements for...
Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is currently the material of choice for a broad range of structural components. Through the use of SFRC, the entire, or a large portion of, conventional rebar reinforcement can be replaced, in order to improve t...
Currently, the determination of the shear capacity
