Repair and rehabilitation of existing damaged concrete structures have emerged as one of
the most important construction activities globally. Money used on repairing damaged …

Deterioration due to arising in service loads or overloading is a key issue affecting the
durability, safety, and sustainability of buildings and structures. Most of reinforced concrete …

Steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been widely used as a building material
worldwide. The macroscopic destruction of this material is a manifestation of the internal …

Silica fume (SF), a commonly used supplementary cementitious material for preparing ultra-
high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC), is known to greatly influence the …

Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used to
confine concrete columns as an effective strengthening technique. During the past two …

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used in strengthening of
existing concrete columns. However, the concrete cracks inside the FRP-strengthened …

There is no consensus in extant literature on the size effect of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)
confined concrete columns. This work studies the size effect by studying the influence of …

The stress-strain relationship of FRP confined concrete columns under eccentric loading is
different from that under concentric loading. However, eccentric loading can have different …

The majority of existing cyclic stress–strain models for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)
confined concrete are applicable only to cases where post-peak strain hardening occurs …
