In this study, experiments were conducted on nine reinforced concrete slabs which were
divided into three groups, namely S0, S45, and S75. Group S0 included one slab which was …

Despite the advantages of the externally-bonded reinforcement on grooves (EBROG)
technique in delaying the debonding phenomenon and even its elimination, further studies …

The current study presents the results of an experimental program on the application of
carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites to improve the lateral strength capacity …

A precast prestressed beam-to-column joint for seismic-resistant RC framed structures is
proposed and investigated in this paper. The joint is an improved configuration of the one …

The beam-column joints are the most critical and vulnerable part of the RC framed structures
when subjected to earthquake load. The objective of the present study is to investigate the …

Achieving a certain limit of rotational ductility in retrofitted reinforced concrete (RC) joints is
very important in the design of earthquake-resistant structures. Strengthening of RC joints …

Coupled shear walls (CSW) in reinforced concrete (RC) structures must be connected with
stiff and strong coupling beams (CBs) to perform effectively during an earthquake. However …

High-piled wharves are widely employed in coastal areas, but their vulnerability to
earthquake damage necessitates effective strengthening measures. This research focuses …

As concrete dominates the construction industry, alternatives to traditionally used steel
reinforcement are being sought. This study explored the suitability of carbon fiber-reinforced …

This paper investigates the experimental and analytical behaviour of beam-column joints
that are subjected to a combination of torque, flexural and direct shear forces, where …
