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 …

Reinforcement corrosion and seismic damage considerably affect the seismic performance
of reinforced concrete (RC) members. In present research, five RC beam-column joints were …

To enhance the seismic performance of prefabricated concrete frame joints, an innovative
prefabricated beam-column joint with shape memory alloy (SMA) and engineered …

High performance column composites are multifunctional composites designed to improve
resilience of structures and infrastructures to natural and unforeseen multiple loads during …

Exterior beam-column joints are the most vulnerable part of substandard reinforced concrete
(RC) buildings and are often the first to be damaged during earthquakes. This article …

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the behavior of vulnerable joints of substandard RC
frames, improved by two different methods, 1-Shear and flexural retrofit of beam–column …

This paper proposes a simple and practical method for retrofitting deficient (non-seismic
detailed) exterior beam-column joints based on fixing steel plates and angles around the …

In this research, an investigational study on the use of CFRP laminates with 4 types of
configurations (Series-A: laminated with confinement wrap, Series-B: single flat & L wrap …

This study evaluates the performances of beam-column joints made of geopolymer concrete
(GPC). A new dry joint type made of GPC and carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) bolts …

This paper presents a numerical investigation to study the seismic response of shear
