FRP composites have been successfully used for improving the strength and ductility of
reinforced concrete members that are severely damaged under different scenarios such as …

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 …

Rapid repair and retrofitting is increasingly urgent and significant for the earthquake-
damaged columns. To restore the flexural strength, and also attempt to restore stiffness and …

Jacketing concrete columns with steel or fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been identified
as a highly effective way of restoring and enhancing the strength and ductility of columns …

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 …

To study the seismic performance and recoverable capacity of reinforced concrete (RC)
columns strengthened in flexure by employing different kinds of reinforcing materials, six …

Rapid and effective repair methods are desired to enable quick reopening of damaged
bridges after an earthquake occurs, especially for those bridges that are critical for …

Externally wrapping concrete columns with fibre reinforced polymer is considered to be an
effective way for enhancing the strength and ductility of concrete columns that are damaged …
