Abstract: Steel jacketing has been used extensively in the United States to retrofit seismically deficient bridge columns. This procedure, which consists of encasing a RC column in a steel jacket, is effective in providing a ductile ...

Abstract: The dual-hazard inelastic behavior of concrete-filled double-skin steel tubes (CFDSTs) is experimentally investigated as a substitute to reinforced concrete columns for bridge piers in multihazard applications. Results ...

Abstract: Strengthening reinforced concrete slab or wall structural elements with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) can improve their blast resistance. However, close-in blasts (blasts with a scaled range of less than

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study of two full-scale steel beam-column assemblies, each comprising three columns and two beams, to (1) define their response characteristics under a column-removal scenario, including ...

Abstract: The blast performance of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT) bridge columns was studied through a two-phase study comprised of blast and residual axial capacity experiments. Two one-fifth-scale CFFT ...
