Investigation of the performance of fibre reinforced polymer re-bars in structural foundations

Labana, Beltran (2012-11-01)

This research focused on the structural performance of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) re-bars in structural foundation compared to steel reinforcement re-bars. The corrosion of steel re-bars is the main reason of deterioration ...
Modelling of Pressurised Water Supply Networks that May Exhibit Transient Low Pressure - Open Channel Flow Conditions

Byakika, Stephen Nyende (Vaal University of Technology, 2011-03)

Growing demand for water due to increasing populations, industrialisation and water consuming lifestyles puts stress on existing water supply systems. To cater for the rising demand, water distribution networks are expanded ...
Monitoring and modelling of water quality characteristics along a reticulation system: a case study of modimolle reticulation network

Mehlo, Mahlomola (2012-01)

Potable water quality can deteriorate immensely from point of treatment to point of usage. This change in quality along a bulk distribution main may be attributed to numerous factors, such as the ingress of storm water. ...
Rubber tyre and plastic waste use in asphalt concrete pavement

Onyango, Felix Odhiambo (2015-12)

Modified asphalt concrete is one of the important construction materials for flexible pavements. The addition of polymers and natural hydrocarbon modifiers to enhance the properties of asphalt concrete over a wide temperature ...
Structural bond behaviour of ribbed GFRP rebars in concrete beams under dynamic loading

Mukalay, J. N. (Vaal University of Technology, 2019-09-19)

This research investigated the structural bond strength of GFRP rebars in concrete beams under dynamic loading with the aim to characterize the structural bond behaviour and evaluate the limitations of the GFRP rebars under ...
