Abstract: In this paper, the efficiency and effectiveness of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets for upgrading the shear strength and ductility of a seismically deficient exterior beam-column joint were studied and compared ...

Abstract: In this paper, efficiency and effectiveness of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) in upgrading the shear strength and ductility of seismically deficient corner or knee reinforced concrete beam-column joints have been ...

Abstract: Shear failure of exterior beam-column joints is identified as the principal cause of collapse of many moment-resisting frame buildings during recent earthquakes. Effective and economical strengthening techniques to upgrade ...

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, a detailed procedure for nonlinear finite-element analysis of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and textile reinforced mortar (TRM) upgraded reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column exterior joints is presented for ...
