Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) have been extensively studied and widely used
as a strengthening material due to its superior mechanical properties. Only few papers …

The utilization of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), can be an efficient, and long-lasting
solution for increasing the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in hostile …

The bends under sagging moments in a Reinforced Concrete Stair Beam (RCSB) in
staircases may be damaged because of improper detailing design or construction; therefore …

This paper presents different effective strengthening techniques to enhance the flexural
strength of one-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. To assess the effectiveness of utilizing …

Corrosion of steel reinforcement affects the durability of concrete structures. This led
researchers to look forward to alternatives for steel reinforcement. One of these alternatives …

Creating a cut-out in an existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) slab became a common practice
to allow passing facility services. This cut-out interrupts the loading trajectories resulting in …

In recent years, the application of reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs has dramatically
increased due to their functional and economic advantages. The exhibition of higher stress …

Precast cement-based composite plates (PCBCPs) have been prepared, cured and then
used to strengthen shear-deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The used PCBCPs have …

In this paper, 3D nonlinear finite element analyses (FEA) were conducted using the
ABAQUS program to investigate the openings' influences on voided slabs' structural …

In this paper, a thin layer of Strain-Hardening Cementitious Composites (SHCC) is provided
in either tension or compression side of RC slabs aiming to improve their impact resistance …
