Abstract: The results of an analytical and experimental study on the behavior of reinforced concrete T-beams retrofitted with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates are discussed in this paper. CFRP plates were bonded to the ...

Abstract: The theoretical relations between the tension and compression stress-strain curves of ductile metals in the natural coordinate system are presented. In addition, a macroscopic model is formulated to predict the cyclic ...

Abstract: A reasonable understanding of the cyclic behavior of reinforcing steel is required to accurately estimate the performance of reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic deformations beyond the elastic range such as ...

Abstract: The uniaxial Giuffrè-Menegotto-Pinto (GMP) constitutive steel model is widely used in nonlinear modeling of reinforced concrete components. However, the parameters characterizing this constitutive law are not easily ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes key diaphragm response parameters observed during the shake table testing of a three-story precast concrete structure built at half-scale. The test structure geometry possessed an aspect ratio in plan ...

Abstract: This paper presents the seismic performance of two types of cold-formed steel wall systems as characterized during a full-scale five-story building shake table test program: (1) an exterior architectural façade, which ...
