Nonlinear Modeling of Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Columns Jacketed Using FRP Materials

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
A database of 74 tests conducted on rectangular concrete columns retrofitted using externally bonded FRP jackets was used to evaluate leading methods for estimating strength and deformation capacities of FRP‐jacketed columns. Due to observed shortcomings in current methods, new relations for nonlinear modeling parameters (MPs) are proposed for FRP ...

Experimental investigations and design of precast concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet slender columns with intermediate connection

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 193-210, February 2026.
Abstract Concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet (CFSCS) offers confinement to the core concrete while the outer galvanized corrugated steel sheet (GCSS) offers excellent corrosion resistance. Application of precast multiple CFSCS columns connected through high‐performance concrete (HPC) in constructing a slender column offers ease of construction while

Durability assessment of GFRP bars in concrete exposed to field environment based on interlaminar shear strength

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) can be an indicator of the deterioration of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. This property is normally evaluated by using a sample with a length equal to four to seven times the bar diameter, which can be
