Repair has become a viable option for restoring the use of earthquake-damaged RC
elements, even those that have been severely damaged. To select and design an …

In this study, a lightweight prestressed steel jacket (PSJ) was proposed and developed for
rapid and cost-effective repair of a severely damaged circular reinforced concrete column …

Rehabilitating corroded or seismically damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns
often involves replacing the longitudinal steel rebar. Welded joints offer a practical and …

This paper presents a procedure for rehabilitating plastic hinges with damaged/fractured
weldable longitudinal rebars in severely damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns …

Research on rapid repair of reinforced concrete (RC) columns has been limited to columns
with slight or moderate damage. Moreover, few studies have been conducted on repair of …

Predicting the residual performance of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings under specific
damage states is crucial for structural recovery and retrofitting. To assess the seismic …

One of the important measures of post-earthquake functionality of bridges after a major
earthquake is residual displacement. In many recent major earthquakes, large residual …

A fast repair method is developed for earthquake induced-flexure/shear damage at the
bottom of the reinforced concrete (RC) columns. The method is a kind of hybrid jacket that …

A rapid repair and replacement method is developed for earthquake-damaged concrete
columns. Headed steel bars enclosed in a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) shell …

This study compares the performances of three types of repair jackets on mainshock (MS)
earthquake-damaged RC bridge columns subjected to aftershock (AS) attacks. These repair …
