Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 6356-6377, August 2026.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...
