TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness and efficiency of two different techniques for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) beams using ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete was investigated, i.e., by sand blasting RC beams surfaces and casting UHPFRC in-situ around the beams inside a mold and by bonding prefabricated UHP FRC strips to the RC beams using epoxy adhesive.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wave propagation analysis of porous functionally graded (FG) sandwich plate in a hygro-thermal environment is presented using a simple four-unknown integral higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT), and the effect of moisture and temperature on wave propagation in porous FG sandwich plates is investigated by considering their role on the materials' expansion.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory is proposed to analyze the statics and free vibration of functionally graded porous plates resting on elastic foundations, and the equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton principle.

TL;DR: In this article, the bending behavior of an advanced functionally graded ceramic-metal plate subjected to a hygrothermo-mechanical load and resting on a viscoelastic foundation is studied using a simple higher-order integral shear deformation theory.
