Fatigue damage assessment of reinforced concrete beam using acoustic emission technique / Noorsuhada Md Nor [PDF]
Damage due to fatigue loading in a reinforced concrete (RC) beam is a crucial phenomenon that requires assessment. Acoustic emission (AE) technique can be used to identify the fatigue damage progression in the RC beam.

Nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with textile fine grained mortar [PDF]
Nowadays, there was an increasing need of repairing and upgrading the reinforced concrete (RC) structure due to the deterioration of the structure. The fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) was commonly used for structural retrofitting purposes.

Impact of target reliability of durability design on maintenance cost of reinforced concrete members in chloride environment [PDF]
In reliability-based durability design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, the depassivation of reinforcing steels is often taken as the durability limit state, and the target reliability index is a key parameter controlling the long-term durability ...

Finite element modeling of steel bar buckling in FRP-confined RC columns [PDF]
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confining jackets offer an attractive solution for the seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. For an accurate prediction of the strength and ductility of FRP-confined RC columns, it is necessary to understand
