With the advent of strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC), an opportunity for alternative jacketing solutions is presented, where internal confinement exerted by fibers in material may effectively encase structural component, thereby enhancing strength and deformation capacity critical regions. This concept explored present paper through testing four pre-damaged prismatic flexural rein...

Today connections are playing an important role in the steel frames subjected to lateral seismic loading. The steel extended end-plate moment connection can play an important role in the steel frame when subjected to seismic loadings. In the past, this type of connection has been under investigation mainly when it was subjected to monotonic loading. After major recent earthquakes and failure of...
