  • Effects of solution exposure on the combined axial-shear behaviour of unidirectional CFRP rods 

    Lees, Janet Marillyn; Scott, P (ElsevierComposites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2012-04-06)
    In fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) prestressed concrete applications, an FRP tendon must sustain high axial tensile stresses and, if cracks occur, additional dowel forces. The tendon may also be exposed to solutions and so ...

  • Uptake induced swelling and thermal expansion of CFRP tendons 

    Scott, P; Lees, Janet Marillyn (Institute of Civil EngineersProceedings of ICE, Structures and Buildings, 2009)
    Carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons can be used as a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel for reinforcing or prestressing concrete in aggressive marine environments. The design lives of many civil marine ...

  • Water, salt water and alkaline solution uptake in epoxy thin films 

    Scott, P; Lees, Janet Marillyn (WileyJournal of Applied Polymer Science, 2013-05-10)
    As a means of characterizing the diffusion parameters of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites within a relatively short time frame, the potential use of short term tests on epoxy films to predict the long-term behavior ...
