Steel is a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to externally confine
concrete compared to the commonly known fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). Numerous …

The performance of moment frames in concrete structures is influenced by the behavior of
beam-column joints. Experience in past earthquakes has shown that beam-column joints …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on substandard partially steel jacketed
RC columns strengthened under sustained loads and loaded until failure. The aim of the …

This paper deepens the finite element modeling (FEM) method to reproduce the
compressive behavior of partially steel-jacketed (PSJ) RC columns by means of the …

Due to the rapid increase in population, the use of automobile vehicles increases day by
day, which causes a considerable increase in the waste tires produced worldwide …

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are the primary type of vertical support used in building
structures that sustain vertical loads. However, their strength may be insufficient due to fire …

Angle steel frame confined concrete columns (ASFCs) are an improved form of steel-
jacketed concrete composite columns. An ASFC consists of an concrete column and an …

Aim: The paper is also aimed at evaluating whether the current code models are suitable for
estimating the confined strength of concrete in existing buildings. Methods: A total of 45 …

Unreinforced masonry (URM) is commonly used to make infill walls in reinforced concrete
(RC) frame buildings. Such infill walls are highly vulnerable to out-of-plane (OOP) seismic …

In order to investigate the mechanical performance of strong PVC-FRP confined concrete
(PFCC) column-weak joint strengthened with core steel tube (CST), nine specimens are …
