Abstract: This paper presents an inclusive testing program conducted on scaled models of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns with insufficient lap-splice length. Thirteen half-scale circular and square column samples were tested ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes comprehensive experimental studies on scaled models of squat bridge columns repaired and retrofitted with advanced composite-material jackets. In the experimental program, a total of 14 half-scale ...

Abstract: In this paper, efficiency and effectiveness of textile-reinforced mortars (TRM) on upgrading the shear strength and ductility of a seismically deficient exterior beam-column joint has been studied. The results are then ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effectiveness of textile-reinforced mortars (TRMs), as a means of increasing the shear resistance of reinforced concrete beams, is experimentally and numerically investigated. Textiles comprise of fabric ...
