Abstract: This paper describes experimental and theoretical studies on seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete circular columns with poor lap-splice details using prefabricated composite jacketing. Three 1:2 scale model columns have ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental results of six scaled high-strength concrete columns with concrete compressive strengths of 76–86 MPa. Primary experimental parameters include axial loads ranging from 10 to 20% of ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an improved steel jacketing method to retrofit reinforced concrete columns with a square or rectangular section for enhanced strength and improved ductility. To retrofit an existing column, relatively ...

Abstract: The paper introduces a simplified structural model for the numerical investigation of bump-type foil bearings. This analytical model is based on an efficient nonlinear contact procedure with consideration of friction, small ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the seismic performance and to provide experimental evidence for developing guidelines for seismic design of concrete and clay tile roofs for typical low-rise residential or commercial buildings, ...

Abstract: he mechanisms through which convected water restratifies in the Labrador Sea are still under debate. The Labrador Sea restratification after deep convection in the 2007/08 winter is studied with an eddy-resolving numerical ...

Abstract: This study intends to provide a simplified analytical model of the laterally confined concrete filled steel tube (CCFT) column system which adopts carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) jackets in order to make up for major ...

Abstract: A form of the spectrum of gravity-capillary waves is suggested, based on a balance of the wind input, the spectral flux divergence, the viscous dissipation, and the modulation from the wave-drift interaction. The spectrum ...
