Abstract: A stress resultant plasticity-based formulation with shear failure criteria and post-shear failure effects is presented for modeling the response of nonductile reinforced concrete bridge columns subjected to biaxial seismic ...

Abstract: Aspects relating to the shear strength of circular and rectangular columns under seismic loading are presented. An examination of existing design equations reveals wide differences in predicted responses. Particular emphasis ...

Abstract: The development, the validation, and the implementation of a new seismic retrofit system for reinforced concrete columns are described. The column jacketing system consists of continuous carbon fiber prepreg tows wound in ...
