development of kenaf glass reinforced unsaturated polyester Hybrid Composite for structural applications
Composites Part B-engineering, 2014Co-Authors: A Atiqah, Md Abdul Maleque, Mohammad Jawaid, M IqbalAbstract:Abstract The main aim of this paper is to develop kenaf-glass (KG) fibres reinforced unsaturated polyester Hybrid Composite on a source of green Composite using sheet moulding compound process. Unsaturated polyester resin (UPE) and KG fibres in mat form were used at a ratio of 70:30 (by volume) with treated and untreated kenaf fibre. The kenaf fibre was treated with 6% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) diluted solution for 3 h using mercerization method. The Hybrid Composites were tested for flexural, tensile and Izod impact strength using ASTM D790-03, ASTM D618 and ASTM D256-04 standards respectively. The highest flexural, tensile and impact strength were obtained from treated kenaf with 15/15 v/v KG fibres reinforced UPE Hybrid Composite in this investigation. Scanning electron microscopy fractography showed fibre cracking, debonding and fibre pulled-out as the main fracture mode of Composites and kenaf treated 15/15 v/v KG reinforced Hybrid Composite exhibited better interfacial bonding between the matrix and reinforcement compared to other combinations.

Hybrid Composite beam bridge superstructure design considerations for thermal gradient
Journal of Composites for Construction, 2018Co-Authors: Mohamed A Aboelseoud, John J MyersAbstract:AbstractThe Hybrid Composite beam (HCB) is an innovative idea that incorporates traditional construction materials (i.e., steel and concrete) with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) Composites in an ef...

durability of Hybrid Composite beam bridges subjected to various environmental conditioning
Journal of Composites for Construction, 2016Co-Authors: Mohamed A Aboelseoud, John J MyersAbstract:AbstractThe Hybrid Composite beam (HCB) is a novel idea that combines conventional construction materials (i.e., steel and concrete) with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) Composites in a new configuration. This Hybridization aims to optimize the beam’s structural performance and produce a structural element that is more durable than conventional members. This study examined the durability of a commercial glass FRP (GFRP) laminate that was used to encase the HCB elements in a recently constructed HCB bridge. The E-glass/vinyl ester laminate was subjected to five aging regimes. These conditioning regimes simulated an alkaline attack, a salt attack, a salt attack that was preceded by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation exposure, and sustained stresses that were accompanied by controlled thermal cycles and natural weathering. The durability of the E-glass/vinyl ester laminate was examined in terms of changes that occurred in the ultimate tensile strength. A microstructural analysis was performed on both unconditioned ...

finite element modeling of Hybrid Composite beam bridges in missouri
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2015Co-Authors: Mohamed A Aboelseoud, John J MyersAbstract:AbstractThree bridges were recently constructed in Missouri using a new type of Hybrid Composite beam (HCB) incorporated within traditional RC deck systems. These HCBs are comprised of three main subcomponents: a Composite shell, compression reinforcement, and tension reinforcement. The compression reinforcement is a self-consolidating concrete (SCC) arch that is tied at the ends by high-strength galvanized steel strands. The compression and tension reinforcements are encapsulated in a glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) box, and the voids are filled with polyisocyrunate (polyiso) foam. This unique configuration aims to optimize the structural performance of the HCB constituents, hence optimizing the overall performance of the beam. However, because of the novelty of the HCB, its structural behavior is not yet completely understood. Consequently, the finite-element (FE) modeling of this new type of beam is crucial for providing deeper insight into its structural behavior and validating the current desig...
