Abstract: The effect of steel fibers in improving the bond performance of hooked-bar anchorages installed in high-strength concrete (HSC) beam-column connections was evaluated by testing twelve beam-column type specimens. The specimen ...

Abstract: The paper presents a correlation study of the results of three research programs conducted on hooked bars anchored in high-strength concrete (HSC) beam-column joints at the American University of Beirut (AUB). The specimen ...

Abstract: Based on experimental data of tension lap splices confined with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets in normal and high strength concrete (HSC) specimens, a new FRP confinement parameter,

Abstract: To assess the viability of the external confinement of normal-strength concrete beam–column joints with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets in increasing the bond strength of hooked bars anchored in the joints, ...

Abstract: The paper presents a correlation study of the results of three research programs conducted on hooked bars anchored in high-strength concrete (HSC) beam-column joints at the American University of Beirut (AUB). The specimen ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental results of the first phase of a study undertaken at the American University of Beirut to examine the effectiveness of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps to confine steel reinforcement ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the fourth phase of a multiphase study undertaken at the American University of Beirut (AUB) to examine the effect of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets in confining bond-critical regions in ...
