A more emphasis was developed in the recent years regarding the environment which has
focused the researchers towards developing a more sustainable natural fibre reinforced …

Connections are important elements of precast structures as they introduce discontinuity
between the elements affecting strength and stiffness. In the present study, locally available …

Structural strengthening is vital to improve the load-carrying capacity partially or severely
damaged Reinforced Concrete (RC) elements. Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) are …

Strengthening of concrete structures is necessary to enhance their performance in terms of
serviceability and strength requirements as well as to increase the life span of the structure …

The findings of an experimental evaluation of the axial compressive strength of an M25
grade Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) column confined with locally available Stainless Steel …

The torsional strengthening of reinforced concrete hollow beams (RCHBs) with externally
bonded stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) was investigated. The experimental programme …

Strengthening using externally bonded FRP is widely adopted to enhance load carrying
capacity of structural elements and overall safety of the structures. However, the …

Currently, stepped beams made of reinforced concrete (RC) support uneven floor slabs and
utility passageways, whereas constant-depth RC beams are standard for RC structures …

Due to advantageous properties, Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials are extensively
used for externally bonded structural strengthening. However, the occurrence of sudden …

Abstract In this study, Stainless Steel Wire Mesh (SSWM) is explored for a strengthening of
precast beam column connection. Experiments are conducted to study the behavior of …
