Abstract: The near-surface mounted glass fiber–reinforced polymer (NSM GFRP) technique may encounter problems such as peeling-off and premature failure of NSM GFRP. To tackle these issues, this study explores the effects of carbon ...

Abstract: Evaluating the performance of postfire RC beams is a crucially important step to provide information for structural engineers on the next step of retrofitting design. Appropriate evaluation methods should be placed in the ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of steel yield strength fy, concrete strength fc′, and ratio of diameter to thickness (D/t) of steel tubes on the behavior and properties of concrete filled steel tube (CFST) beams under ...
