Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study of the behavior of large‐scale high‐strength concrete columns confined by rectangular ties under concentric loading. Effects of key variables such as the concrete compressive ...

Abstract: A stress-strain model for confined high-strength concrete has been developed and calibrated against the test results from 50 large-scale high-strength concrete tied columns tested under concentric loading. The effects of ...

Abstract: The performance of nine commercially available corrosion-inhibiting systems for use in reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments was assessed in the field on bridge barrier walls and in accelerated ...

Abstract: Nine commercially available corrosion-inhibiting systems for use in concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments were evaluated on bridge barrier walls and in electrochemical cells. The results of this study are ...

Abstract: The postpeak behavior of high-strength concrete (HSC) columns, loaded in axial compression, is characterized by strain localization in the concrete leading to the formation of an inclined shear failure plane separating the ...
