1 The finite element (FE) model analyses were stopped at the same stain as the experimental ones. 2 These values are larger than the strain of the material failure (15.5‰). * These values are the FE ...

This paper develops a comparative analysis of the main design models used for predicting the strengthening of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial compression. The study evaluated four ...

In this paper, the finite element method was used for the numerical modeling of columns with square, rectangular and circular cross sections wrapped with FRP. The numerical modeling was successfully ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a design optimization for the reinforced concrete plane frame structure has been done in order to minimize the cost of the concrete and steel for beams and columns by adopting ...

Each year, students in CIE 429 learn about the theory associated with the analysis and design of beams, slabs and columns made of reinforced concrete. This semester, Stavridis and Seyedsina ...

ABSTRACT: This paper reports a study based upon experimental investigation which aims to assess the behaviour of reinforced concrete columns strengthened with a new configuration of steel wire mesh as ...

Abstract: The bearing mechanism of rectangular concrete column that has been strengthened with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrap under axial load is analyzed, and a predicted modal for the strength ...
