An analytical investigation using ABAQUS/Explicit dynamic analysis was carried out to investigate the effect of Micro/Nano silica in presence steel fibers on improving response reinforced concrete beams. According results Magnusson and Hallgren's experimental investigation, FE model has been well verified calibrated. The finite element test program extended further study tensile reinforcement r...

the use of polymer composite (frp) as a reinforcement material for the repair and strengthening of important components of reinforced concrete structures, particularly columns, has found wide spread. in this study, the effect of intermediate layer on improving the confinement behavior of reinforced concrete columns has been investigated. to achieve the objectives of the study, 14 cylindrical re...

Abstract Bangladesh is connected through bridges and many of them are experiencing damages due to the aging concrete, weathering effect, or excessive loading. Repair retrofitting those becoming inevitable make operational. In this study, a concrete bridge have been investigated non‐destructive tests numerical methods. A repair strategy for damaged girders has developed using epoxy injection, sh...

Assessing the strength of soil slopes and investigating the means for increasing their safety against failure are crucial in construction projects involving large soil masses. Slope stability analyses have traditionally been performed using a limit state approach. However, any presence of reinforcement or local heterogeneity necessitates the use of numerical techniques such as finite element an...

Abstract The old existing RC structures around the world need to be examined and reinforced increase their capacity for different reasons. Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer (FRP) is believed most efficient system retrofit improve strength of members. However, in certain cases, engineers utilize combination flexural shear FRP systems, which was not mandated standard code. Therefore, this research focused...
