Journal ArticleDOI
Behavior of concrete columns confined with fiber reinforced polymer tubes
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of concrete columns conbined with carbon and glass FRP composite tubes was evaluated under uniaxial compressive load and showed that external confinement of concrete by FRP tubes can significantly enhance the strength, ductility, and energy absorption capacity of concrete.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars
Houssam Toutanji,Mohamed Saafi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the FRP reinforcement ratios and elastic modulus of FRP were incorporated in the exponent of Branson's equation to predict deflections and crack width.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fire on FRP reinforced concrete members
TL;DR: In this article, a parametric study was carried out to study the effect of concrete cover, fire exposure time on the FRP temperatures and shear and flexural capacities of reinforced beams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced properties of graphene/fly ash geopolymeric composite cement
TL;DR: In this article, the incorporation of in-situ reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into geopolymers was reported for the first time, and the resulting rGO-geopolymeric composites are easy to manufacture and exhibit excellent mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifunctional properties of carbon nanotube/fly ash geopolymeric nanocomposites
Mohamed Saafi,Kelly Andrew,Pik Leung Tang,David McGhon,Steven Taylor,Mahubur Rahman,Shangtong Yang,Xiangming Zhou +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the mechanical and electrical properties of fly ash (FA) geopolymeric composites was investigated.
