Abstract: An analytical model for the nonlinear dynamic behavior of unreinforced masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane loading is developed. The formulation is based on variational principles, dynamic equilibrium conditions, and ...

Abstract: A nonlinear analysis, based on the closed-form high-order approach, for the behavior of cracked reinforced concrete beams, retrofitted with externally bonded fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) strips, is presented. The model ...

Abstract: A closed-form high-order analytical model for the investigation of various methods that control and reduce the stress concentrations at the edges of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded composite materials is analytically investigated. The analytical model is based on dynamic equilibrium, compatibility of deformations ...

Abstract: An analytical model for the prediction of the interfacial delamination failure of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded fiber-reinforced plastic strips (FRPs) is presented. The analysis is ...

Abstract: A high-order analytical model for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) strips bonded with adhesive layer of variable thickness is presented. The model is based on ...

Abstract: The behavior of reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with fully or partially bonded (delaminated) circular patches is analytically investigated. The model derived follows the concepts of the high-order theory, and uses ...

Abstract: A theoretical approach for the dynamic viscoelastic response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and one-way slabs strengthened with adhesively bonded composite materials is developed. The analytical model is based on ...
