Abstract The strength of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structural elements may need to be
improved due to building usage changes or damages that occurred after exposure to …

An experimental investigation was carried out on rectangular RC beams strengthened with
FRP in different strengthening forms in shear and flexure. The parameters examined in this …

In this study, reference geopolymer concrete (GC) beams were loaded up to the failure state
with a three-point bending test to obtain load–deflection behavior. These damaged …

This paper investigated the effect of the interaction between stirrups and external CFRP
strengthening or External Bonded Reinforcement (EBR) in Reinforced Concrete (RC) …

In practical engineering, the size of the component which need shear strengthening is often
much larger than that of the test specimen. Therefore, the analytical models and design …

The target of the current works is to analyze the impact of shear-span ratio on the shear
failure of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) wrapped reinforced concrete beams …

Three-point bending tests were carried out on nineteen Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams
strengthened with FRP in the form of completely wrapping. The strip width to spacing ratios …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures may be damaged seriously when subjected to impact
loading, and it is necessary to strengthen existing structures to improve their impact …

A three-dimensional meso-scale numerical model, which considers (1) the concrete meso-
structures,(2) the bond slip between concrete internal structures and steel bars, and (3) the …

The actual size required for practical applications is much larger than the prepared ones for
the experimental testing for the shear-strengthening efficiency of reinforced concrete (RC) …
