This paper presents the results of reversed cyclic loading tests on reinforced recycled concrete columns. Recycled concrete aggregates were obtained from the waste of str [...]

In this study, effectiveness of a new type of retrofitting method on the axial performance of low strength columns is investigated. In this method, sprayed glass fiber re [...]

A simplified methodology is proposed in this study for the preliminary design of low-to-medium-rise reinforced concrete buildings without significant structural irregular [...]

Thanks to its cellular internal structure, Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is well known for superior characteristics such as low self-weight, good thermal insulation a [...]

The majority of earthquake-caused deaths are instances of people being killed by their own houses. It is thus crucial to convince people that the investment in safer hous [...]

One of the major issues of construction industry is the rehabilitation of the old and deteriorating stock of structures. Corrosion of reinforcing bars and the resultant c [...]

The main goal of this study is to develop a convenient strengthening technique for retrofitting of beam-column joints against shear forces. For this purpose the considere [...]

Low concrete quality and lack of adequate confinement reinforcement are among most common deficiencies for existing reinforced concrete structures. These deficiencies may [...]
