Abstract: Confinement with external bonding (EB) of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is effective for improving the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns under axial compression. However, EB confinement is less ...

Abstract: This study presents the fracture behavior of synthetic fiber-reinforced structural lightweight aggregate concrete (SynFR-SLWAC) by experimental and analytical studies. Experimental studies include testing of 15 specimens ...

Abstract: Ensuring good interface shear resistance is essential in structural applications. Hence, understanding the interface shear behavior of ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is essential. The interface ...

Abstract: RC columns are commonly strengthened using external bonding (EB) of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. The confinement effect provided by the EB of CFRP fabric is highly effective for short columns under ...

Abstract: Steel reinforcement is widely used in reinforced concrete (RC) constructions. However, the durability of the steel RC elements is often compromised due to corrosion under adverse environmental conditions. Glass fiber‒reinforced ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are subjected to combinations of axial, shear, flexure, and torsional loading during an earthquake event. Comprehensive understanding of the behavior of shear panels is essential to ...

Abstract: In this study, the buckling-resistant antispring-clad reinforcing bar (BRASR) for improving the performance of the longitudinal reinforcing bars embedded in concrete columns is presented. BRASR is formed using a set of ...

Abstract: RC elements are often subjected to combined actions including torsion under seismic events. Understanding the behavior of RC members under combined actions including torsion is essential for safe design. Behavioral predictions ...
