Strengthening and rehabilitation of structural element are inevitable and the strengthened
concrete structural elements are primarily used to increase the life span of deteriorated …

The catastrophic seismic events have urged the need for effective retrofitting techniques for
the non-seismically designed structures built in the seismic active zone. The design and …

In this paper, efficiency and effectiveness of textile-reinforced mortars (TRM) on upgrading
the shear strength and ductility of a seismically deficient exterior beam-column joint has …

Abstract Seismic response of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam-column joints has always
been evaluated by researchers due to their undeniable influence on the overall behavior of …

This paper studies experimentally and numerically the effect of large rectangular web
openings in the shear zone on the response of unstrengthened and upgraded reinforced …

Using a significant number of transverse hoops in the joint's core is one recognized way for
achieving the requirements of strength, stiffness, and ductility under dynamic loading in a …

The relevant design code provisions for Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strengthened RC
columns are restricted to the short RC columns strengthened with FRP jackets. These …

The sugar industry uses raw bagasse to generate electricity and subsequently produces
tonnes of bagasse ash annually. This bagasse ash is dumped into a landfill, causing an …

The usage of organic matrix composites such as fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) in
retrofitting of structures is increasingly becoming popular among structural designers, which …

This study aims to investigate the effect of blast loads generated as a result of explosive
