Abstract: External application of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) for the seismic retrofit/repair of reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column joints has been extensively investigated in the last decade. However, the majority of the ...

Abstract: This paper evaluated the capability of nonlinear finite-element (FE) analysis to estimate the seismic responses of reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column connections retrofitted using externally bonded carbon fiber–reinforced ...

Abstract: The strengthening of beam-column joints in RC structures is considered an effective approach for improving their seismic resistance and overall performance. This paper presents a numerical investigation into the effectiveness ...

Abstract: Application of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in the form of composite sheets has received a great deal of attention in the last two decades. However, their efficiency in improving the seismic performance ...

Abstract: The advanced programmatic risk analysis and management model (APRAM) is one of the recently developed methods that can be used for risk analysis and management purposes considering schedule, cost, and quality risks ...

Abstract: In nonlinear eigenvalue problems, the standard method for calculating eigenvectors is to first calculate the eigenvalue. The nonlinear governing matrix is then formed using the calculated eigenvalue, a random disturbance ...
