Fifteen slender rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) columns with longitudinal glass fiber-
reinforced polymer (FRP) bars were tested under compression in this paper. Results …

This paper investigated the effect of concrete strength on the seismic performance of circular
reinforced concrete (RC) columns confined by basalt and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer …

The determination of shear strength and the identification of potential failure modes are the
crucial steps in designing and evaluating the structural performance of reinforced concrete …

In this study, the hysteretic response of ductile Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns with plain
bars is analyzed by evaluating the degradation of unloading and reloading stiffness with …

Modelling uncertainty can significantly affect the structural seismic reliability assessment.
However, the limit state excursion due to this type of uncertainty may not be described by a …

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns typical of existing structures often exhibit premature
failures during seismic events (ie, longitudinal bars buckling and shear interaction …

This paper deals with the seismic response assessment of an old reinforced concrete
viaduct and the effectiveness of friction‐based retrofitting systems. Emphasis was laid on an …

The Italian code requires spectrum compatibility with mean spectrum for a suite of
accelerograms selected for time-history analysis. Although these requirements define …

One of the feasible retrofitting techniques for existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures is
to use Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs). On the other hand, the efficiency of the FRP …

Many pre-1970s reinforced concrete (RC) buildings were constructed with smooth
longitudinal reinforcement, particularly in southern Europe and New Zealand. It is …
