Case study on structural health assessment for existing reinforced concrete building
Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2021 Retrofitting is a method of renovating/repairing and strengthening the weak structure that was affected due to the excessive load on structure during any uncertainty load like earthquake or due to end of service life of the infrastructure. The objectives

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Evaluation of Ultimate Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP Sheets under Torsion [PDF]
, 2016 The ultimate torque of reinforced concrete (RC) members strengthened with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets does not only depend on the torque of RC members, but also on the FRP contribution to the torque.
