Abstract: The behavior of high strength concrete tied columns was investigated. A total of 11 columns were tested under monotonic loading having two different eccentricities. The main variables investigated were: (1) the mechanical ...

Abstract: In the last decade, a new strengthening methodology has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frames with hollow clay tile (HCT) infill walls by means of diagonally applied carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...

Abstract: Seismic performance assessment of existing buildings requires the existing material’s properties to be determined as this has a significant influence on the seismic risk. As one of the most common construction type in ...

Abstract: Pseudodynamic testing was employed to observe the seismic performance of two retrofit methods on two-story, three-bay frame structures. The test frames had hollow clay tile (HCT) infill in the central bay and incorporated ...
