The catastrophic seismic events have urged the need for effective retrofitting techniques for
the non-seismically designed structures built in the seismic active zone. The design and …

Biodegradable materials are appropriate for the environment and are gaining immense
attention worldwide. The mechanical properties (such as elongation at break, density, and …

Abstract Seismic response of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam-column joints has always
been evaluated by researchers due to their undeniable influence on the overall behavior of …

This study proposes an indirect strengthening method using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer
(CFRP) and hybrid bolt-plate locking anchored CFRP hoops, which is more suitable than …

Exterior beam-column joints are the most vulnerable part of substandard reinforced concrete
(RC) buildings and are often the first to be damaged during earthquakes. This article …

Strengthening the seismic deficient beam-column joints (BCJs) in reinforced concrete
structures is mostly adopted to avoid any devastating consequences of high-intensity …

Experimental studies that investigate the cyclic behavior of interior heat-damaged RC beam-
to-column joints are limited in the literature. This research experimentally investigates the …

The beam-column joints are the most critical and vulnerable part of the RC framed structures
when subjected to earthquake load. The objective of the present study is to investigate the …

The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of engineered cementitious
composites (ECC) retrofit technique for unreinforced hollow clay brick masonry infill wall in …

A project named PERSISTAH (Projetos de Escolas Resilientes aos SISmos no Território do
Algarve e de Huelva, in Portuguese) is being developed. It aims to cooperatively assess and …
