Abstract: This is the second of two papers discussing the theories and applications of three reinforced concrete (RC) frame elements with bond slip between the reinforcing bars and the concrete. This paper presents the element state ...

Abstract: This is the first of two papers that presents the theory and applications of three different formulations of reinforced concrete frame elements with bond slip in the reinforcing bars. This paper presents the governing ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of predicting the stiffness, load capacity, and failure modes of RC members strengthened in bending with bonded steel or carbon-fiber–reinforced plastic thin plates. A critical issue of ...

Abstract: As existing structures age or are required to meet the changing demands on our civil infrastructure, poststrengthening and retrofitting are inevitable. A relatively recent technique to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) ...

Abstract: For many decades, both the lateral-torsional and local buckling strengths of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structural members have been studied extensively by numerous researchers and designers. Many complex prediction ...

Abstract: Bamboo, a renewable construction material, has advantageous mechanical properties that are crucial for efficient engineering. However, there is limited research on the Dendrocalamus bamboo species grown in Thailand. This ...
