The beam-column joints that are not detailed and built in accordance with seismic codes
present a serious hazard that can affect the overall ductility of a structure subjected to severe …

This paper presents an experimental study on the strengthening of seismically deficient RC
beam-column joints using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Six exterior RC beam …

In this paper, efficiency and effectiveness of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) in
upgrading the shear strength and ductility of seismically deficient corner or knee reinforced …

Multi-storey reinforced concrete frames that were built prior to the 1970's generally do not
meet current seismic design code requirements. The lateral load carrying capacity of these …

Under severe earthquake conditions, the lack of strength and ductility in reinforced concrete
beam–column joints with non-seismic details raises serious concerns for overall structural …

Depending on the damage type as well as the level of damage observed after the
earthquake, certain measures should be taken for the damaged buildings. In this study …

The scope of this study is to present the results of an experimental investigation of the
behavior of shear deficient exterior beam–column joints retrofitted by carbon-fibre-reinforced …

Abstract Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), as an advanced alternative to normal concrete,
has been increasingly used to construct beam-column joints which is one of the most …

In this paper a procedure for analytical prediction of joint shear strength of interior beam-
column joints, strengthened with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets …

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a new method for seismic strengthening of exterior
RC beam–column connections and develops a joint shear strength model for the …
