Abstract: This paper introduces a novel technique called arched steel haunches with rib element (ASHR) for seismic retrofitting of RC frames. In this approach, the arched haunch is equipped with a steel ring or link, as the rib ...

Abstract: Using the steel strongback braced (SB) system to seismically strengthen and retrofit reinforced concrete moment frames (RCMFs), this research aims to enhance the effectiveness of RCMFs. In this study, RCMFs of 5-, 10-, and ...
