This paper presents the efficiency of the external fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites
in rescue the structural performance and controlling the mode of failure of the heated …

The current study presents the results of an experimental program on the application of
carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites to improve the lateral strength capacity …

In this study, an analytical procedure for the evaluation of the expected performance of
existing reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints before and after being retrofitted using …

Most of the experimental studies available in literature on the seismic assessment and
retrofit of existing, poorly detailed, reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints, typical of …

The high vulnerability of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structural systems is often related
to brittle failures of critical members. Field surveys and relevant scientific studies showed …

The paper presents key parameters to determine the shear strength of exterior beam–
column joints without transverse reinforcement in the joint region (referred to as unreinforced …

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 …

Two series of tests on eight full-scale exterior beam-column joint subassemblages built with
plain bars and low-strength concrete were conducted. No transverse reinforcement was …

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 …
