6. OPTIMUM DESIGN OF THE THICKNESS OF CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER MATERIAL (CFRP) REQUIRED FOR STRENGTHENING OF DEFICIENT REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM
Abstract
A Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) has emerged as promising material for rehabilitation of existing reinforced concrete structures. However, one of the major concerns of using this material is its high cost. In this research, a classical optimization technique was employe...
7. PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS SUBJECTED TO CORROSION
ABSTRACT
This dissertation is a report of the investigation carried out on the Probabilistic analysis of reinforced concrete columns subjected to corrosion. Corrosion of reinforcement bars is one of the most significant causes of deterioration of reinforced concrete columns. The deterio...
8. EFFECT OF VERTICAL RECTANGULAR OPENINGS ON THE FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM
ABSTRACT
Effect of vertical rectangular openings on the flexural strength of reinforced concrete beam is presented. Twelve reinforced concrete beams of dimension 200m x 230mm x 700mm with different sizes of rectangular openings, 25mm x 35mm, 50mm x 60mm and 75mm x 85mm which are placed...
9. INTERFACIAL BOND STRENGTH BEHAVIOUR OF STEEL FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE AND PLAIN CONCRETE SUBSTRATE
ABSTRACT
The quality of the bonded concrete overlay depends on the bonding at the layer’s interface, which is affected by parameters such as fibre inclusion and content in new concrete, moisture condition and surface roughness of old concrete surface. This research presents an exp...
10. OPTIMUM DESIGN OF WATER INTAKE TOWER FOR AN EARTH DAM
ABSTRACT
Water intake towers are typically tall, hollow, reinforced concrete structures and form entrance to reservoir outlet works. It is observed that most dam intakes in Nigeria are not functional due to no way to monitor assets. In this work, the best type of tower was selected and...
