In the present paper different external surface treatments published in the literature as
preventive solutions for improving the performance of existing concrete constructions are …

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 …

The use of new methods to strengthen and rehabilitate existing concrete and masonry
structures is one of the challenges that the engineering community is facing in recent years …

Reinforcement corrosion can induce severe damage in reinforced concrete (RC) columns
leading to a relevant loss of bearing capacity. This condition can be even more critical in …

This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign performed at the Laboratory of
Materials and Structural Testing of the University of Salerno (Italy) with the aim to investigate …

This study investigated the interfacial bond performances between ordinary Portland cement
concrete (OPCC) and self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC). The studied factors …

This paper presents an experimental study on the axial compressive behavior of concrete
columns retrofitted and confined by fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) jackets. Three different …

There has been ongoing deliberation to arrive at promising retrofit strategies for pre-seismic
code reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Against this backdrop, the research reported in …

This study investigates the behavior of shear-dominant beams strengthened with 150 MPa
ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) through the experiments of the thirteen full-scale …

Abstract The National Bridge Inventory reports indicate that a noticeable portion of the
United States bridge infrastructure is drastically approaching the end of its intended design …
