This experimental study focuses on investigating the uniaxial compression behavior of
concrete confined using an innovative active confinement technique. The thermally triggered …

This paper studied experimentally the behavior of circular fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–
steel-confined concrete columns subjected to reversed cyclic loads. The influence of main …

This experimental work focuses on enhancing the lateral cyclic behavior of RC columns by
using an innovative active-confinement technique. The thermally triggered recovery stress of …

The purpose of this study is to assess the confining effectiveness of shape memory alloy
(SMA) wire jackets for concrete. The performance of SMA wire jackets was compared to that …

Steel caging technique is commonly used for the seismic strengthening of reinforced
concrete (RC) columns of rectangular cross‐section. The steel cage consists of angle …

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the behavior of concrete confined
with hybrid Basalt and Chopped Strand Mat (B-CSM) fibers. The newly proposed B-CSM …

Steel jacketing is an efficient way to retrofit reinforced concrete columns. Previous studies
focused on the performance improvement without considering the preloads on the original …

The purpose of this study was to propose a new method to confine concrete cylinders or
reinforced concrete columns using martensitic or austenitic shape memory alloy (SMA) …

The poor seismic response of gravityload-designed reinforced concrete (RC) frames with a
soft story can be effectively controlled by using metallic dampers as passive energy …

The paper presents experimental and numerical work carried out on a full-scale four storey
reinforced concrete (RC) structure for seismic assessment by pushover method. For …
