Given the excessive demolition of structures each year, the issues related to the generated
structural waste are striking. Bricks being a major constituent in the construction industry …

During the last ten years, several studies have been devoted to understanding the behavior
of circular concrete sections confined by FRP. Comparatively fewer studies have dealt with …

Salient features of lightweight aggregate concrete (LAC) include noticeable fire resistance,
high strength-to-weight ratio, and low magnitude of dead loads. Further, LAC has a low cost …

Due to its efficiency, Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) jacketing has become a common
practice for confining concrete columns that need increased axial strength, axial ductility or …

This paper presents a structural reliability analysis of RC square columns confined with FRP
laminates. The structural analyses were carried out using the Finite Difference Method FDM …

In the present paper, several well-known existing design-oriented relations for circular and
rectangular columns confined with fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are reviewed and their …

Seismic retrofitting of constructions vulnerable to earthquakes is a current problem of great
political and social relevance. Most of the Indian building stock is vulnerable to seismic …

This paper presents an experimental study conducted to investigate the effects of
strengthening using externally bonded GFRP confinement, Near Surface Mounting (NSM) …

In composite materials technology, the fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have opened up new
horizons in infrastructural engineering field for strengthening existing structures and …

In the construction industry, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely
used for retrofitting and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) rectangular columns to …
