Abstract: This paper describes an experimental study of axially loaded, fire-exposed, rectangular RC columns repaired with postcompressed steel plates. Seven RC columns with identical section dimensions and reinforcement details ...

Abstract: The existing designs for deep reinforced-concrete (RC) coupling beams with low shear-span ratios and conventionally reinforced shear stirrups tend to fail in a brittle way with limited ductility and deformability under ...

Abstract: A research study has been conducted on a newly proposed design of embedded steel plate composite coupling beams with shear studs in order to improve the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) coupling beams under severe ...

Abstract: The large uncertainties of electrochemical input parameters, along with their variation with chemical environment and time, can significantly affect the accuracy of simulations and oversimplify the nonuniform corrosion ...
