Abstract: This study investigates the performance and viability of a horizontal stiffener detailing (HSD) to (1) be used at the link-to-column connection in a D-braced eccentrically braced frame layout where conventional ...

Abstract: Predicting the axial capacity and behavior of concentrically, eccentrically, and slender loaded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-RC columns is not completely established, and the current design codes lack design provisions ...

Abstract: Predicting the nominal axial capacity of slender fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete (RC) columns is dependent majorly on their flexural stiffness. However, the current design provisions do not incorporate ...
