Confinement is a sustainable and cheap approach to strengthen the older deficient or
inadequate design columns in seismic zones. There are many confinements proven to be …

When an engineer is determining the restoration strategy for a deteriorated concrete
building, a precise design model is particularly essential. Although many design models …

Abstrac Steel-Strapping Tensioning-Techniques (SSTT) have been proposed recently as a
confinement strategy to enhance the strength and deformation capacity of new and existing …

The potential use of recycled steel strap from packaging industry to strengthen bond
between reinforcement steel and concrete was investigated. Through a series of pull-out …

The efficacy of post-tensioned metal straps PTMS, wrapped around steel channels anchored
to normal reinforced concrete (RC) beams is tested in increasing the flexural capacity of the …

This paper investigates the eccentric compression performance of high-strength steel
reinforced concrete (SRC) columns. In addition, the feasibility of the calculation codes used …

Earthquakes hit the earth on daily basis with different intensities. An earthquake of M 7.3 hit
Halabjah on 12th of November 2017 and caused structural damages in both Halabjah and …

Concrete dilation plays an important role in compressive strength where it leads to concrete
cracking at its ultimate due to low ductility and brittleness. Studies have reported good …

Concrete's strength and deformability can be enhanced by adding external lateral
confinement. Several materials and confinement techniques have been investigated …

Background: The performance of concrete-filled steel-tube (CFST) columns under axial
compression is excellent. However, the steel-tube wall's instability due to insufficient …
