Study of Influence of Corrosion and Cracking on Bond Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Member
Abstract: Reinforced concrete, as composite material has occupied special place in the modern construction of different type of structure. Reinforced concrete is inherently durable and near maintenance free construction material. Service life of reinforced concrete structure can be significantly reduced when the corrosion of reinforcing steel is initiated; the product of corrosion expands and occupies greater volume than original volume of steel, eventually causes cracking of concrete. The composite action of …

Pullout Capacity of Screw Piles in Sandy Soil
Abstract: In this study, the behavior of square screw piles models 5´5 mm2 embedded in sandy soil was investigated. The sandy soil layer 400 mm thickness was compacted into four sub-layers in a steel container with diameter 400 mm in size. Sandy soil layer was compacted into three relative densities 30%, 60% and 90%. Model tests are performed with screw pile length 100 mm, 200 mm and 300 mm and with …

POLYMER AND COMPOSITE-BASED GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCEMENTS FOR SEISMIC STABILITY OF SOIL RETAINING STRUCTURES: MATERIALS, MECHANICS, AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Abstract: Geosynthetic materials based on polymer and composites have become important items for the structural performance and seismic resilience of the reinforced soil retaining systems. Mechanically stabilized earth walls in recent geotechnical engineering practice are increasingly based on enhanced polymeric reinforcements for enhanced tensile strength, durability, flexibility, and energy dissipation under dynamic loading. High-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and fiber-reinforced polymer composites are usually used. The present review focus on the recent …

Experimental Investigation of Hybrid Natural Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites Using Banana and Sugar Palm Fibers
Abstract: This paper is a research study that examines the mechanical and morphological properties of hybrid natural fiber reinforced epoxy composites manufactured from banana fibers (BF) and sugar palm fibers (SPF). Because the use of sustainable, lightweight, and cost effective materials in engineering continues to grow, many engineers are looking at the possibility of utilizing natural fiber reinforced polymer composites as alternatives to traditional man-made fiber composites. Hybrid composite laminate samples …
