Residual Axial Capacity Comparison of CFFT and RC Bridge Columns after Fire

Analysis of Carbon Fiber Sheet Retrofitted Rc Bridge Columns

Experimental studies were conducted by some researchers to investigate the cyclic performance of CFSretrofitted columns; however there is a need to develop analytical methods which can simulate its hysteretic response. This study presents an analysis of the hysteretic behavior of CFS-retrofitted reinforced concrete circular columns. Fiber element analysis was conducted based on cyclic constitut...

Towards Fragility Analysis for Concrete Buildings in Fire: Residual Capacity of Concrete Columns

Fire engineering a building, in general, has one central performance objective – life safety – and property protection is rarely explicitly considered. The engineering is typically based on only one possible fire, which may not represent the most onerous scenario (or may be much too onerous to be considered realistic). Taking inspiration from fragility analyses used in seismic engineering, this...

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

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...
