Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 7, No. 1 (January to June 2013), pp. 164-175 (12 pages) Abstract: Rehabilitation and strengthening of old structures using advanced materials is a ...

We consider fiber reinforced ideally plastic composites. We analyze a mathematical model valid for microstructures and applied stresses that lead to both microscopic and macroscopic anti-plane shear ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. However, Subcommittee D30.10 meetings are typically held in conjunction with meetings of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 440 on Fiber Reinforced ...

This project quantified the improvement in structural behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls retrofitted with a new method that allows the walls to rock over the foundation and self-center after ...
