The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the cyclic behavior of RC hollow piers, with and without with CFRP retrofit, by comparison of experimental tests results w [...]

The seismic damages of reinforced concrete bridges in recent events show that many of them have an inadequate behavior and safety. Therefore, is important to accurately d [...]

Reinforced concrete hollow piers are well known for the shear effects they so often reveal to be subjected to. This aspect is particularly true in the case of hollow pier [...]

Reinforced concrete hollow piers have a seismic behavior similar to the one observed in structural walls, where the damage pattern and failure modes can be associated wit [...]

Over the last years, there has been increasing interest on experimental testing to support better understanding of structural behaviour under earthquake loading, with emp [...]

This work mainly aims at a comparative study between several numerical methods for non-linear cyclic behavior simulation of reinforced concrete members, namely the contin [...]

The main purpose of this paper is to present an experimental and numerical study concerning retrofit techniques on cyclic behavior of RC columns. The Laboratory for Earth [...]

The main purpose of this paper is to present an experimental and numerical study concerning the influence of the transverse reinforcement details on the cyclic behavior o [...]

The objective of this paper is to perform an experimental evaluation of seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete hollow piers with CFRP to prevent shear failure. The exper [...]
