Abstract: In this paper a procedure for analytical prediction of joint shear strength of interior beam-column joints, strengthened with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets, has been presented. The procedure is ...

Abstract: The present paper investigates the suitability and effectiveness of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) in strengthening and/or repairing unreinforced masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete frames which are subjected to ...

Abstract: In this paper, efficiency and effectiveness of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) in upgrading the shear strength and ductility of seismically deficient beam-column joints have been studied. For this purpose, four ...

Abstract: In this paper, the efficiency and effectiveness of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets for upgrading the shear strength and ductility of a seismically deficient exterior beam-column joint were studied and compared ...

Abstract: In this paper, efficiency and effectiveness of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) in upgrading the shear strength and ductility of seismically deficient corner or knee reinforced concrete beam-column joints have been ...

Abstract: Shear failure of exterior beam-column joints is identified as the principal cause of collapse of many moment-resisting frame buildings during recent earthquakes. Effective and economical strengthening techniques to upgrade ...
