Design and fatigue behavior of near-surface mounted CFRP bars for shear strengthening of RC bridge girders

Creator:

Johnson, Brandon Ang

Abstract:

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials are emerging as an effective means of strengthening and rehabilitating bridges. Near surface mounting (NSM) is a newer technique for application of CFRP for retrofitting of bridge members that provides advantages over conventional strengthening techniques. The technique is still new and uncertainties remain regarding...

Design, analysis, and validation of composite c-channel beams

Creator:

Koski, William C.

Abstract:

A lightweight carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) c-channel beam was previously designed using analytical theory and finite element analysis and subsequently manufactured through a pultrusion process. Physical testing revealed the prototype did not meet the bending and torsional stiffness of the beam model. An investigation revealed that the manufactured prototype...

Sensitivity of Hashin damage parameters for notched composite panels in tension and out-of-plane bending

Creator:

Wright, Thomas J.

Abstract:

When using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to model notched composite panels, the values of certain material properties can have a great effect on the outcome of the simulation. Progressive damage modeling is used to model how a composite structure will fail, and how that failure will affect the response of...
