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: The realistic seismic response of two damaged reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls repaired using externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets was evaluated using hybrid simulation. The CFRP repair used ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical analysis procedure for the 3D flutter analysis of bridges based on the spline finite-strip method. The finite-strip method has been extended, for the first time here, to the area of bridge ...

Abstract: Damage assessment in postearthquake reconnaissance of civil structures has traditionally relied upon the judgment of experienced site inspectors. In a step toward eliminating the need for on-site inspections, this paper ...

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 ...
