Use of anchoring devices can be useful to avoid or delay end debonding failure in
reinforced concrete elements externally bonded with fiber-reinforced plastic materials. Many …

This paper discussed the effectiveness of the hybrid use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
reinforcement for the seismic retrofitting of substandard reinforced concrete (RC) columns …

This article presents an experimental campaign on full scale RC beam–column joints
subjected to cyclic loading. A joint specimen, belonging to a 4-storey RC framed building …

The beam-column joints are very restricted areas in which the internal forces, generated by
boundary elements, act on the concrete core and reinforcing bars with a very high gradient …

Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings may be subjected to high temperatures during their
service life, which causes significant deterioration in the mechanical and physical …

To investigate the effect of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) retrofitting on the failure
modes and seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames, this paper presents the …

Beam-column joints suffer intense damage from seismic events and are the cause of many
buildings collapsing. These zones present complex behaviour under cyclic loads, including …

The seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is critically influenced by the
complex mechanical interactions at beam-column joints. To ensure the desired hierarchy of …

Recent seismic events have demonstrated that the high vulnerability of existing reinforced
concrete (RC) buildings is mainly due to a lack of proper seismic detailing and the …

Steel haunch system was proposed to retrofit fire-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beam-
column-slab joints and ensure their seismic safety. Five RC beam-column-slab joints were …
