Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are extensively used in advanced concrete
technology given their superiority over traditional steel reinforcements. These materials …

Structures are often subjected to extreme loading conditions that lead to their premature
deterioration, and replacement of those structures before the end of their design lives is very …

This paper presents an experimental and analytical study examining the blast load
performance of steel reinforced (RC) concrete columns retrofitted with externally bonded …

Deterioration due to arising in service loads or overloading is a key issue affecting the
durability, safety, and sustainability of buildings and structures. Most of reinforced concrete …

Strengthening existing reinforced concrete (RC) beams using carbon fiber reinforced
