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 …

Reinforced concrete beam-column joints are generally recognised as critical regions in
frame structures which experience severe inelastic deformations during earthquakes. This …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is one of the contemporary overlay materials for
repairing and retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) members. It possesses excellent …

Beam-column assemblies of many existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are typically
designed and built before the development of the current seismic codes; that may …

Extensive research efforts over the last decades have focused on the rehabilitation of
vulnerable reinforced concrete (RC) beam to column moment resisting connections. Shear …

In the performance assessment of typical existing buildings, seismic collapse safety might be
significantly affected by non-linear behavior of joints that are involved in the failure …

Beam–column joints in existing concrete buildings might not satisfy the design requirements
for seismic reinforcement details specified in current seismic design codes. Thus, in this …

Strengthening the seismic deficient beam-column joints (BCJs) in reinforced concrete
structures is mostly adopted to avoid any devastating consequences of high-intensity …

This study proposes an indirect strengthening method using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer
(CFRP) and hybrid bolt-plate locking anchored CFRP hoops, which is more suitable than …

Evidence from past earthquakes has shown that during significant events, there are always
a number of structures that stay stable but experience different forms of damage in their …
