The project investigates the effectiveness of using Grancrete paste as an alternative to epoxy resins for the adhesion of fiber strengthening to reinforced concrete structures. The study includes also evaluation of the fundamental bond characteristics and permeability of the Grancrete material.

CICI intends to usher applications and cost-effective solutions using composite material systems and technologies in the fields of civil and military structures.

The goal of the research project is to test short-span beams to investigate the influence of different reinforcement details.

The primary purpose of the testing program would be to evaluate the ICC acceptance criteria currently in development for continuous or semi-continuous fiber-reinforced grid connectors anchored in concrete. In addition, data generated would be useful in characterizing the shear flow capacity of CGRID sandwich panel connections in various configurations.

The goal of the proposed research is to develop standard details for typical dapped end prestressed thin stemmed-members. The research scope includes extensive non-linear finite element analysis and full scale experimental. The investigation will examine existing test data, published literature, current design guides, advanced computer analyses, and experimental testing. Based on these results, the research will develop a comprehensive set of appropriate and practical design procedures and reinforcement details suitable for implementation.

The proposed research topic is related to the design and behavior of precast concrete Ledge Beams.
