Abstract: In this paper, efficiency and effectiveness of textile-reinforced mortars (TRM) on upgrading the shear strength and ductility of a seismically deficient exterior beam-column joint has been studied. The results are then ...

Abstract: In this paper, a detailed procedure for nonlinear finite-element analysis of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and textile reinforced mortar (TRM) upgraded reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column exterior joints is presented for ...

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the inclusion efficiency of straight microsteel fibers to improve the structural ductility and deformability of reinforced concrete frames to achieve progressive collapse resistance. Four RC ...
