Abstract: In this study, nonlinear finite-element analysis (FEA) will be employed to investigate textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets for shear strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. FEA models of TRM shear strengthened RC ...

Abstract: In this paper, nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) was used to investigate the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) retrofitted steel beams subjected to static and fatigue loadings. Under static loading, damaged ...

Abstract: This paper describes a study on the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketed square concrete columns subjected to eccentric loading. The effect of strain gradient on the behavior of concrete columns confined by ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effectiveness of local strengthening using textile reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets on the global response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames under gravity and lateral cyclic loadings. Finite ...

Abstract: This paper presents a finite-element analysis study of elliptical concrete columns, converted from rectangular cross sections and confined with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) through an enhancement/strengthening ...

Abstract: Shortening delays for immediate access to essential public infrastructures when subjected to rare extreme loadings are critical to promptly normalize socioeconomic activities. Public infrastructure networks contain numbers ...

Abstract: The research presented in this study involves full-scale experimental evaluation of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rehabilitation for existing beam-column joints designed for gravity load with common pre-1970s ...
