The sudden occurrence of an earthquake induces a liquefaction effect on foundation soil, which causes a substantial increase in the uplift pressure acting on piles and causes structural damage to superstructures. This forms the basis of the necessity of ...

Two unique approaches were proposed to strengthen the bond between the glass fiber reinforcement polymer (GFRP) and the RC concrete surfaces. The two bonding materials are epoxy (EP) and geopolymer (GPP) with different ratios of short glass fibers (SGF)....
