In recent decades, the externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) method has been recognized
as a desirable and established choice to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) structures with …

During the last decade, the externally bond reinforcement on grooves (EBROG) method has
been introduced as a technique in the external strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) …

This paper reports an experimental investigation of the seismic performance of exterior
beam-column joints reinforced with Grade 600 longitudinal reinforcing bars in beams and …

Common reasons often impose the strengthening of elements of existing reinforced concrete
structures designed according to various regulations including contemporary codes. Such …

The effectiveness of externally applied fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ropes made of carbon
fibers in X-shape formation and in both sides of the joint area of reinforced concrete (RC) …

Beam-column joints are fundamental structural components of a stable structure. Corner
joints are more likely to fail due to their small size and inferior confinement. This calls for …

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 …

The strength and deformability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures strengthened with
externally bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites can be enhanced with the …

Despite the advantages of the externally-bonded reinforcement on grooves (EBROG)
technique in delaying the debonding phenomenon and even its elimination, further studies …

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 …
