Abstract: Due to the strength reduction at the bent corners of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) stirrups, the high tensile strength of FRP reinforcement cannot be fully utilized in concrete structures. Although numerous experimental ...

Abstract: A new connection joint between precast concrete bridge slabs, headed bar joints in high-performance fiber-reinforced mortar (HPFRM), is proposed to reduce the lap length and simplify the construction process of the traditional ...

Abstract: This paper describes the outcomes of recent research that is, for the first time, aiming to completely replace internal steel reinforcement in concrete structures with knitted prefabricated cages made of highly durable ...

Abstract: RC column–steel beam (RCS) systems, a novel type of hybrid structure, have been used widely in recent decades owing to their excellent seismic performance and simple fabrication process. However, due to the effects of ...
