Abstract: This paper presents the investigations carried out on the backbone curves of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with light transverse reinforcement. An experimental program consisting of five half-scale RC columns with light ...

Abstract: Described in this paper is a novel approach to four-dimensional (4D) computer-aided design (CAD). It involves a two-way symbiotic relationship between three-dimensional (3D) CAD software and a software implementation of ...

Abstract: The majority of research studies on the behavior of reinforced concrete members with externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets have been focused on beams, columns, and beam-column joints. However, limited ...

Abstract: The experimental and analytical investigations carried out on lightly reinforced concrete beam-column joints subjected to seismic loading are presented in this paper. Five 3/4-scale reinforced concrete beam-column joints ...
