Excessive fatigue deterioration is usually experienced when Reinforced Concrete structural
elements are subjected to loadings. This emphasizes the desire to strengthen as well as …

One considerable weakness in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is the connection
between beams and columns. Several researchers showed that RC joints suffer brittle …

Achieving a certain limit of rotational ductility in retrofitted reinforced concrete (RC) joints is
very important in the design of earthquake-resistant structures. Strengthening of RC joints …

An important failure mode of RC beams retrofitted with FRP plates is plate end debonding.
Design codes provide equations for estimating shear stress at the plate end, but none of …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are common in Palestine. One considerable weakness
in these structures is the connection between beams and columns. Several researchers …

In this case study, a defective beam in Om Katheer School in Jordan was studied. One aim
was to propose a suitable method for strengthening the beam by application of fibre …
