Extensive investigations on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete columns have been
undertaken in recent years and many retrofitting methods have been developed and …

Despite the improved performance of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP)-retrofitted bridges,
residual deformations in the event of an earthquake are inevitable. Little consideration is …

Structures Strengthened with Bonded Composites presents a comprehensive resource on
the strengthening of concrete, reinforced and prestressed concrete, masonry, steel and other …

This paper presents a near surface–mounted (NSM) retrofit technique to enhance the
seismic performance of existing reinforced-concrete (RC) columns with lap-splice …

The novel concept of this paper is to investigate the required recoverability of existing
important reinforced concrete (RC) bridges retrofitted with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) to …

This paper is concerned with the effects of column size, carbon fiber-reinforced plastics
(CFRP) volumetric ratio, column side to corner radius ratio and column side aspect ratio on …

Numerous existing building structures around the world were constructed without seismic
provisions. Reinforced concrete columns in these buildings feature shortcomings (eg …

This chapter provides a holistic view of the seismic response of existing reinforced concrete
(RC) structures (bridges and buildings) that are susceptible to earthquake damage after …

Fiber-reinforced polymer has eventually become a popular choice for retrofitting and
strengthening of structural entities. Hence, a need arises to know the quantitative as well as …

This chapter briefly discusses the performance and durability of bonded composite systems
used for on-site rehabilitation of timber and concrete structures. In spite of some recent …
