Abstract: Reliable and robust numerical modeling of RC columns under lateral load is commonly performed using one-dimensional elements. Although the strain is assumed to vary linearly through the section, bond-slip and buckling of ...

Abstract: Externally bonded carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly being used for repair of concrete infrastructure. Both the mechanical performance and the long-term durability of such a repair have ...

Abstract: Prefabricated reinforced concrete column connections employing grouted sleeve (GS) splices enable rapid construction, are familiar to contractors, and their detailing resembles cast-in-place (CIP) construction. Previous ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have been increasingly used for external strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure. However, the focus has been almost exclusively on epoxy-based composites, and other ...
