RISConfinement Steel Requirements for Connections in Ductile Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Results of tests on a large number of beam‐column subassemblies performed by the writers and others are examined. After reviewing the existing techniques, an index is proposed that can quantify the energy absorption and ...

Modeling Out-of-Plane Behavior of URM Walls Retrofitted with Fiber Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although masonry is one of the oldest construction materials, its behavior has not been investigated as extensively as other construction materials. Out-of-plane failures are common in unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings ...
Design Recommendations for Bond of GFRP Rebars to Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To develop design guidelines for bond of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) rebars to concrete, a total of 102 specimens were constructed and tested subjected to monotonic static loading. The research program was inclusive ...
Behavior of Retrofitted URM Walls under Simulated Earthquake Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings perform poorly under seismic forces and have been identified as the main cause of loss of life in recent earthquakes. Many of these structures fail in out-of-plane bending due to the ...
Shear Behavior of URM Retrofitted with FRP Overlays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large inventory of older masonry buildings exists in earthquake-prone regions. In most cases these buildings contain shear walls constructed of unreinforced masonry. The majority of these buildings were built before any ...
