An Analytical Method for the Evaluation of the RC Columns Capacity Strengthened by Concrete Overlays

Numerical Simulation of FRP-Jacketed RC Columns Subjected to Cyclic Loading

This paper presents a study that forms part of an ongoing project on the seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP). In this study, a stress-strain model for FRP-confined concrete subjected to cyclic loading was implemented into OpenSees to support the performance-based design of FRP jackets for the seismic retrofit of RC columns/structures. Init...

Analytical Load Displacement Curves of RC Columns under Constant Axial and Cyclic Lateral Loads

The cyclic tests of the columns are of practical relevance to the performance of compression members during earthquake loading. The strength, ductility and energy absorption capabilities of RC columns, subjected to cyclic loading, have been estimated by many researchers. These characteristics are not normally inherent in plain concrete but can be achieved by effectively confining columns throug...
