The bond behavior between Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) rods and concrete is one of the most important aspects to predict the short- and long-term performance of FRP-reinforced concrete structures. The objectives of this study are to understand the bond characteristics and to i…

Geosynthetic-reinforced load transfer platforms (GRLTP) are constructed at the base of column-supported embankments to efficiently distribute embankment and live loads onto the columns supporting the embankment. There are currently four major design methods for engineers to choo…
