Three–dimensional nonlinear finite–element models have been developed to investigate
the loading–unloading–reloading behaviour of two reinforced–concrete beams under four …

Currently, most buildings have earthquake-resistant systems such as coupled shear walls
and couple beams, designed based on previous code specifications. Also, due to …

This paper presents the evaluation of parameters describing bond action between fiber-
reinforced polymer (FRP) and concrete in RC structures strengthened in flexure. The …

In this paper, an analytical and numerical study in finite element by the ABAQUS software
was conducted. The goal of this work is to study the bending behaviour of reinforced …

This thesis demonstrates how new materials and damping technologies were developed
and applied to mitigate the adverse effects of vehicular crashes into masonry buildings …

Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is
one of the recent applied strengthening techniques. It offers an attractive solution to enhance …

Collapse of buildings or bridges is one of the worst scenarios to which built-infrastructure
may be subjected during their lifetime. In recent years, due to external environmental …

Throughout the globe there are lots of buildings which are vulnerable to damage or
damaged by earthquake. There are many buildings which are either designed without …

This study presents a simulation analysis of the non-linear behavior of retrofit concrete
material due to uniaxial loads modeled in the form of cylinders measuring 150 mm in …

In the current study, the finite element method using the ABAQUS program is employed to
investigate the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by carbon …
