Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...

Innovative development and structural behavior of hollow columns using inflatable molds
Abstract This study introduces a novel approach for constructing hollow columns using precast (PC) methods enhanced by inflatable air tubes as internal molds. The proposed method addresses practical challenges in conventional hollow column construction, such as limited constructability, high production cost, and interference between internal molds and ...

Experimental investigation of reinforced concrete members subjected to reversed cyclic axial loading
Abstract This paper presents an experimental campaign of five reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic axial loading alternating between tension and compression. Fiber optical sensors and digital image correlation, in combination with automated crack detection and measurement, were used to investigate, among other aspects, the development of ...

Nonlinear analysis of flat post‐tensioned concrete slab–edge column connections
Abstract This study presents nonlinear finite element analyses to investigate the punching shear behavior of unbonded post‐tensioned concrete flat slabs at slab‐edge column connections. A parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of four critical parameters on the punching shear resistance: the distribution of prestressing tendons ...

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.
