Bridge structures nationwide across the United States are aging and in need of repair or, in
some cases, full replacement. Repair decisions are common among bridge owners because …

The purpose of this paper is to numerically simulate the in-plane behaviour of rammed earth
walls under cyclic shear-compression tests. The experimental testing allowed obtaining the …

The structural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams strengthened in shear by
externally bonded (EB) glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) fabrics are investigated …

Modeling, analysis and design of retrofitting interventions has been a topic of numerous
research projects that aim in providing answers to complex questions such as “which …

The deep embedment (DE) of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is a promising shear-
strengthening scheme for existing concrete structures. In the current study, a three …

Due to the rapid increase in traffic volumes, existing infrastructure demands proper
assessment and in some cases rehabilitation is needed. Prestressed concrete (PC) I …

This paper presents a non-linear finite element parametric study of continuous RC T-beams
shear retrofitted with deep embedded (DE) carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars and …

The objective of this study is to conduct a finite-element (FE) numerical study to assess the
effect of size on the shear resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in …

The seismic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) structures before and after retrofitting is
a challenging task, mainly because existing numerical tools cannot accurately model the …

The use of externally bonded fiber‐reinforced polymer (EB‐FRP) composites for shear
strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams presents many challenges given the …
