Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical and computational framework for the analysis of structures that are subjected to inelastic static or dynamic overloads. Current practice in structural engineering assumes elastic material ...

Abstract: The aim of the present research is the experimental investigation of the response of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams of large scale under fatigue loading. Reinforced ...

Abstract: Numerical analyses are performed to predict the stress–strain behavior of square reinforced concrete columns strengthened by fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheet confinement. The research focuses on the contribution of FRP ...

Abstract: This study concerns assessing 20 existing models for predicting the compressive strength of concrete uniformly confined externally with composite materials. An extended database of 471 experiments on cylindrical concrete ...

Abstract: The study presents the experimental behavior of reinforced concrete columns strengthened externally by transverse glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets. The columns had a square section and very low concrete strength. ...

Abstract: The aim of the present research is the experimental investigation of the response of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams of large scale under fatigue loading. Reinforced ...
