Au cours de la dernière décennie, les barres en matériaux composites de polymère renforcé de fibres (PRF) ont été utilisées avec succès comme renforcement principal pour les structures en béton telles que les ponts, les dalles de stationnement, les réservoirs d’eau, les tunnels et les structures marines. Ces ouvrages ont démontré de bonnes performances et […]

This research addresses the feasibility of using FRP reinforcement in concrete beams taking into consideration the effect of fiber dosage and prestressing level in order to enhance the structural performance, time efficiency and optimised-cost. Full-scale precast concrete I-beams will be tested as simple beams to determine their flexural and shear capacity. The test parameters include […]

SYM-TECH Inc. is looking to develop new corrosion-free precast concrete members (sleepers and piles) reinforced with fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) rods and using fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) for railway foundation applications. Such precast concrete members are usually reinforced with conventional or pre stressed steel reinforcements. Steel bars and strands used for reinforcement have a limited service life […]
