Near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is one of the
latest and most promising strengthening techniques for reinforced concrete (RC) structures …

This paper aims to review and critically assess experimental research efforts on the seismic
retrofit of existing reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints with fiber-reinforced polymer …

Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly used—and there is a
staggering demand for it. However, as we strive to build taller structures with improved …

Premature brittle failures because of seismic actions strongly affect the behavior of existing
reinforced concrete (RC) structural systems. They commonly involve exterior beam-column …

The opportunities provided by the use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
composites for the seismic repair of reinforced concrete (RC) structures were assessed on a …

The performance of rehabilitated reinforced concrete beam-column joints was compared
with the response of existing joints designed to preseismic codes to assess proposed …

Beam-column assemblies of many existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are typically
designed and built before the development of the current seismic codes; that may …

A brief overview of anchorage systems is dealt with introducing experimental tests on eight
types of end fixing for reinforced polymers (FRP) sheets glued on RC elements. Particular …

Thousands of RC buildings were severely damaged or collapsed in Turkey during the past
major earthquakes due to various deficiencies. This has initiated extensive experimental …

The purpose of this study was to investigate experimentally the behavior of strengthened
masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames using diagonal CFRP strips under cyclic …
