Shear walls have high strength and stiffness, which could be used at the same time to resist
large horizontal loads and weight loads, making them pretty beneficial in several structural …

An experimental and analytical investigation was conducted on reinforced concrete (RC)
beams strengthened in flexure using the near-surface mounted carbon-fiber-reinforced …

Four-pile caps made from concrete are essential elements for the force transfer from the
superstructure to piles or pipes. Due to the difficulties in carrying out full-scale tests and all …

This article originates from an experimental program and nonlinear finite element analysis
aimed at examining how pozzolanic concrete influences the behavior of RC shear walls with …

Shear walls are one of the primary lateral resisting structural elements. Due to architectural
and technical needs, openings in the structural wall are almost inevitable. Discontinuity …

Medium-rise reinforced concrete (RC) framed apartment complexes with stories ranging
from 15 to 50 are becoming more common in Ethiopia's main cities. In these RC-framed …

Reinforced concrete structures are relatively complex to analyze, with nonlinear effects like
cracking, crushing, steel yielding, aggregate interlock, dowel effect, concrete-rebar …

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites could be an alternative of traditional materials for
modular construction due to their superior strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance and …

Many studies have compiled experimental results of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) shear
strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams into databases for the investigation of the …

Reinforced concrete mid-rise structures are supported by shear walls to withstand lateral
forces resulting from earthquakes. In this context, the presence of openings in these walls is …
