A new strategy that repairs severely damaged reinforced concrete (RC) columns after an
earthquake is proposed as a simpler and quicker solution with respect to the strategies …

The shear strength of reinforced concrete beams extracted from existing buildings often
reveals insufficient transversal steel reinforcement, mainly due to design or construction …

Featured Application This study presents the experimental results of the shear strength of
reinforced concrete (RC)“real” beams extracted from an old RC building in Rome, built in …

Six concrete beam-column frame sub-assemblages reinforced with basalt fiber-reinforced
polymer (BFRP) bars in the frame beams were designed to investigate the collapse …

The dynamic response of long structures (eg, bridges) is sensitive to the spatial variability of
strong ground motion (asynchronous motion). Ground motion differences increase from …

A procedure to determine the shear strength characteristic value (Vrck) is presented and
applied to two existing RC beams extracted from an old structure built in Italy in the early …

This study deals with the assessment of the shear strength characteristic value (V rck) limited
by the concrete strut crushing for existing reinforced concrete (RC) beams on the base of the …

A generalized cyclic steel model characterized by isotropic and kinematic hardening,
inelastic buckling in compression and corrosion for the rebar in reinforced concrete (RC) …

This paper presents a numerical study to evaluate the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC)
columns with circular section repaired and retrofitted by high-performance fiber-reinforced …

Seismic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings under seismic loading requires
the ability to model the effective non-linear response and to identify the relevant failure …
