The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites using externally bonded
reinforcement (EBR) installation technique is an alternative to conventional retrofitting …

Limited information is known about the effects of bond strength degradation during
installation on the bond's quality and performance between fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) …

A key part of RC structure seismic performance is the effective distribution of earthquake
forces across all resistance elements through reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column (BC) …

The research investigates the effect of using external fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–
composites to strengthen the alkali-silica reaction (ASR)-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) …

In spite of their outstanding properties, FRP reinforcing bars still face a series of drawbacks
that should be addressed to widen their applications. For example, straight FRP bars must …

In this research, an investigational study on the use of CFRP laminates with 4 types of
configurations (Series-A: laminated with confinement wrap, Series-B: single flat & L wrap …

It is rather costly and difficult to experimentally evaluate the performance of concrete-filled
tubular (CFT) circular steel columns exposed to combined axial and cyclic lateral loads. This …

Based on experimental data of composite beam-reinforced concrete column frames, a
corresponding finite element (FE) numerical model was established using the OpenSees. By …

In severe earthquakes, the energy dissipation and ductility capacities of the structures
depend on the performance of the beam-column joints where the load transfer is performed …

Strengthening RC structures become more essential due to its deterioration, updating in
new design codes, lack of quality control, and changes in the use of the structure. The …
