Six mixtures were prepared by combining two types of fibers—steel, polypropylene (PP), ...Graphical summary of experimental and numerical evaluation of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete beams without stirrups, showing fiber types, beam setup, key findings, and performance data. Results highlight improved shear capacity and ductility, with steel–... 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z Prediction of CFRP and NSM-Wrapped Composite Column Capacities Using Experimentation and an Ensemble Machine-Learning Approach with SHAP Interpretation http://yetl.yabesh.ir/yetl1/handle/yetl/4313275 Prediction of CFRP and NSM-Wrapped Composite Column Capacities Using Experimentation and an Ensemble Machine-Learning Approach with SHAP Interpretation M. R., Sudhir; M., Beulah AbstractColumn capacity is an essential parameter in structural design, and its accurate determination is critical for a safe load-transfer mechanism in structures. Also, experimental and accurate model-based assessments are critical to the column ...Practical ApplicationsThe global requirement to restore heritage structures and retrofit seismic-resistant buildings has catalyzed the evolution of structural strengthening techniques and their practical applications. This study recommends a review of the ... 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z Seismic Fragility Assessment and Comparative Study of Modified Performance-Based Plastic Design Method for Reinforced Concrete Frames http://yetl.yabesh.ir/yetl1/handle/yetl/4313274 Seismic Fragility Assessment and Comparative Study of Modified Performance-Based Plastic Design Method for Reinforced Concrete Frames Vyas, Rohit; Rc, Bush; Gondaliya, Kaushik; Shirkol, Anoop I. AbstractSeismic design in structural engineering evolved from traditional force-based design (FBD) methods to performance-based frameworks to better address nonlinear behavior during earthquakes. Among these, the performance-based plastic design (PBPD) ... 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z Evaluating the Challenges Hindering Widespread Adoption of the Design–Build Delivery Method http://yetl.yabesh.ir/yetl1/handle/yetl/4313273 Evaluating the Challenges Hindering Widespread Adoption of the Design–Build Delivery Method Al-Bayati, Ahmed Jalil; Chellappa, Vigneshkumar; Hasbrook, Bill AbstractThe design–build (DB) delivery system has gained popularity in the United States construction industry, offering numerous advantages and demonstrating proven results. Nevertheless, contractors’ challenges when utilizing the DB method have not ... 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
