Over the past few decades, increasing awareness of the need for more resilient
infrastructure has led to a great increase in the amount of research being performed on the …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the behavior of hybrid bio-composites
under varied applications. Design/methodology/approach Fabrication methods and material …

The field of progressive collapse has attracted considerable attention worldwide, while little
existing building structure has been constructed with progressive collapse design …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) strips have been widely used to retrofit existing reinforced
concrete (RC) frame structures to improve their progressive collapse resistance. However …

Construction repairs have used fiber-reinforced cement mortar (FRCM). Concrete and
FRCM bond strength usually outweigh mechanical criteria. Nevertheless, testing complex …

Retrofitting in reinforced concrete structures has been one of the most important research
topics in recent years. There are several methods for retrofitting RC moment-resisting …

Concrete spalling is considered as one of the most common weaknesses phenomena in
concrete members. In this article, reinforced concrete (RC) column and beam members are …

The bond strength among the concrete and reinforced bars is one of the most important
factors in designing the reinforced concrete structures. One of the serious problems …

Using the ABAQUS software, this article presents a numerical investigation on the effects of
various stud distributions on the behavior of composite beams. A total of 24 continuous 2 …

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars have been introduced as an effective alternative
for the conventional steel reinforcement in concrete structures to mitigate the costly …
