Abstract: In reinforced concrete shear walls subjected to seismic loads the flexural, web shear and sliding shear mechanisms are activated. The measurements obtained from the tests of 11 wall specimens with aspect ratio 1.0 and 1.5 ...

Abstract: The behavior of six 1:2.5-scale reinforced concrete cantilever wall specimens having an aspect ratio of 1.5, tested to failure and subsequently repaired and strengthened using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets is ...

Abstract: The main objective of the experimental work reported herein is the comparative evaluation of steel-reinforced polymers (SRPs) and carbon-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) used as externally-bonded reinforcement in strengthening ...
