Abstract: As part of a major study on the seismic response of bridge systems with conventional and advanced details, a large-scale model of a 4-span bridge incorporating several innovative plastic hinges was recently tested on shake ...

Abstract: An analysis model for the nonlinear response behavior of RC shear walls repaired and strengthened in flexure with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets using the FEM is presented. A novel component of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental results of a study investigating the effectiveness of using externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tow sheets for in-plane bending strengthening and repair of reinforced ...
