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 …

Numerous size effect laws of concrete materials have been proposed by scholars, while the
size effect laws for concrete filled steel tubular members are still under study. A three …

To solve the problems of invisible grouting processes and grouting defects in the vertical
connection of traditional grouted sleeves, four inverted exposed grouted sleeve (IEGS) …

The paper reports the results of a series of tests of geometrically similar stocky reinforced
concrete (RC) columns having different sizes with a ratio of 1: 1.5: 2.25. The effects of stirrup …

Axial compression tests of circular concrete-filled steel tubes with different diameters (219
mm, 426 mm, and 630 mm) and ratios of tube diameter to steel thickness (55 and 88) were …

Geometrically similar reinforced concrete (RC) columns subjected to axial compressive
loading were tested for the study of size effect. Herein the present work, a series of axial …

Construction of multistoried reinforced concrete buildings require construction joint in
columns at each floor level. Recent research shows that such construction joint in column …

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall often exhibits a brittle failure pattern, which may
present an obvious size effect. The objective of this study is to explore the size effect on RC …

The introduction of polymers in ordinary cement concrete in order to reduce the Portland
cement consumption is gaining more attraction in the field of civil engineering. However, in …

The objectives of this study are, on one hand, to present an experimental campaign on the
flexural failure behavior of RC beams under both low cyclic and monotonic lateral loadings …
