RISEffect of Ductile Shear Wall Ratio and Cross-Section Configuration on Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Masonry Shear Wall Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reinforced masonry buildings typically have a load-bearing wall structural system. Thus, the reinforced masonry shear walls must be capable of resisting both vertical forces from gravity loads and lateral forces from seismic ...
Seismic Collapse Risk Assessment and FRP Retrofitting of RC Coupled C-Shaped Core Walls Using the FEMA P695 Methodology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Shear Strengthening of RC T-Beams Using Mechanically Anchored Unbonded Dry Carbon Fiber Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research studies the feasibility and effectiveness of a new method of strengthening existing RC T-beams in shear by using mechanically anchored unbonded dry carbon fiber (CF) sheets. This method eliminates the debonding ...
Out-of-Plane Flexural Performance of GFRP-Reinforced Masonry Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to assess the out-of-plane flexural performance of masonry walls that are reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) rods, as an alternative for steel rebars. Eight
Strengthening RC Beams in Flexure Using New Hybrid FRP Sheet/Ductile Anchor System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper explores a new hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheet/ductile anchor system for rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The advantages of the proposed strengthening method is that it overcomes the ...
Seismic Fragility Assessment and Resilience of Reinforced Masonry Flanged Wall Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Several experimental and analytical studies have evaluated the seismic response of reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls either as a component (i.e., planar rectangular walls) or as a system (i.e., building consisting ...
Experimental Investigation of Axial Load and Detailing Effects on the Inelastic Response of Reinforced-Concrete Masonry Structural Walls with Boundary Elements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In typical wall load-bearing reinforced-masonry (RM) buildings, the lateral and vertical forces are resisted by rectangular shear walls. Thus, the walls are subjected to high vertical forces from gravity loads that are ...
Flexural and Serviceability Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Ribbed GFRP Bars
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are used as internal reinforcement in many structural applications. The structural performance of GFRP-reinforced concrete elements is dependent on the physical and mechanical ...
Analytical Evaluation of Seismic Performance of RC Frames Rehabilitated Using FRP for Increased Ductility of Members
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures designed according to pre1970 strength-based codes are susceptible to abrupt strength deterioration once the shear capacity of the columns is reached. Fiber composites are ...
Flexural Behavior of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Masonry Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental and analytical study is conducted in order to investigate the flexural behavior of masonry beams that are internally reinforced using glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) rebars. Seven reinforced masonry ...
