Development length of sand-coated GFRP bars embedded in Ultra-High performance concrete with very small cover

Decebal Michaud et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the development length of sand-coated glass fiber reinforced polymer bars in ultra-high performance concrete. The bond strength was higher in UHPC with steel fibers, increasing with fiber content but decreasing with embedment length. Consequently, the development length in UHPC with steel fibers was smaller and decreased with increasing fiber content.

Flexural toughness of sustainable ECC with high-volume substitution of cement and silica sand

Kazim Turk et al.

Summary: The study found that limestone filler did not significantly affect the flexural toughness of ECC, while the flexural toughness decreased with increasing fly ash content. ECC with high fly ash content and no limestone filler demonstrated higher ductility at all curing ages.

Performance of fiber-reinforced concrete link slabs with embedded steel and GFRP rebars

Rizwan Karim et al.

Summary: The study investigates the use of link slabs as a potential solution for expansion joints in bridge superstructures. By developing a fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) mixture and evaluating rebar alternatives, the research aims to improve crack resistance and overall performance of the link slabs. Through experiments and simulations, the study provides comprehensive information on the effectiveness, performance, and durability of link slabs for jointless bridge superstructures.

Development Length of Small-Diameter Basalt FRP Bars in Normal- and High-Strength Concrete

Decebal Michaud et al.

Summary: This study determined the development lengths of different diameter BFRP deformed bars through a series of tests, revealing that as concrete strength increased, the development length decreased, while the average bond strength increased. The current design guidelines significantly overestimated the development lengths of small-diameter bars, and alternative equations were proposed for more accurate predictions.
