Bond Behaviour of Concrete Beams with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bars Under Fatigue Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-17)Since the 1980s and after the aerospace industries faced several periods of economic difficulty, the companies that produced fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) started to introduce them as new materials for construction ... -
The Fatigue Behaviour of Tension Lap Spliced Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Fibre Reinforced Polymer Wrapping
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-25)Many reinforced concrete structures containing lap splices were constructed before modern bond and fatigue design codes came into existence and are subjected to fatigue loading, which may lead to a bond failure even when ... -
Mean Stress Effect in Stress-Life for Hard Steels
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-01)The work in this thesis examines the effect of mean stress on the fatigue behaviour of very hard (Rockwell C 60) steels (AISI 8822, 8620, 9310, and cold-worked pre-stressing wire). In the mean stress tests, the minimum ...
