Sustainability necessitates the protection of infrastructure from any kind of deterioration over
the life cycle of the asset. Deterioration in the capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) …

Crumb rubber concrete (CRC) is a class of concrete that incorporates crumb rubber from
used tyres as a partial replacement for the natural aggregates in conventional concrete …

Bar splicing is considered an essential part of the construction process of reinforced
concrete (RC) due to the ease of installation in construction, transportation constraints, and …

This paper presents the cyclic behavior of four self-centering bridge bents with different
construction details, including external energy dissipaters and neoprene isolation. The …

Many existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers do not have sufficient seismic-resistant
capacities during the long-term service period. Seismic retrofitting of these piers will be an …

An experimental study was performed to investigate the possible use of crumb rubber
concrete (CRC) for structural columns by evaluating the use of fibre reinforced polymer …

Given a size of low-rise residential buildings located in seismic-prone areas, it is difficult to
rationalize the application of Carbon Fiber Sheet Polymer (CFRP) sheets for the sake of …

This paper presents a new composite confinement system of FRP wrap and PVC tube with
and without an impact absorption medium (compressible foam) in between. The …

The effectiveness of an innovative retrofitting method using ultrahigh-performance fiber-
concrete (UHPFRC) was investigated experimentally on RC bridge piers with deficient lap …

Concrete dilation is one of the main parameters that controls the stress–strain behaviour of
confined concrete. Several analytical studies have been carried out to predict the stress …
