Hollow concrete columns (HCCs) reinforced with steel bars have been employed
extensively for bridge piers, ground piles, and utility poles because they use fewer materials …

Blasts and accidental explosions are being reported more frequently than before with
grievous injuries and loss of lives and damage to the structure, increasing the concern of …

In reinforced concrete structures, the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) as reinforcing rebars
have been widely used. The use of GFRP (glass fiber-reinforced polymer) bars to solve the …

Carbon and glass fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP and GFRP) are two materials suitable for
strengthening the reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Although many in situ RC beams are of …

External bonding of circumferential fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps is a widely
accepted technique to strengthen circular RC columns. To date, most of the tests performed …

This paper presents a modified damage-plasticity model for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-
confined normal-strength and high-strength concrete (NSC and HSC). The proposed model …

This paper presents results of testing 16 specimens, 12 of which as columns under different
eccentricities and four as beams under four point loading regime. All 16 specimens were …

This paper presents the results of experimental studies on reinforced concrete columns
strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites under the …

The flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams by bonding external
composite materials has proved to be an effective and convenient technique. Several works …

The present paper deals with the structural behavior of masonry columns strengthened by a
system made up of composite fiber grids embedded in cementitious matrix; in particular, the …
