Abstract: Seven specimens were tested to investigate the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened by wrapping with a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic sheet. All specimens were tested under lateral reversal ...

Abstract: Many types of connections between steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns and reinforced concrete (RC) beams have been proposed. These connections are usually difficult to design and complex to construct. This study proposes ...

Abstract: This paper reports on axial compression experiments on 18 specimens that were strengthened using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) fabric and bamboo sticks to improve buckling resistance. The core steel members were first ...

Abstract: Buckling-restraint braces (BRBs) are used extensively in seismic-resistant structures. They consist of a core energy dissipation and external restraining component. A novel glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) steel BRB ...
