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

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
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 ...

Performance enhancement of reinforced concrete columns using stainless steel and galvanized steel plates: Experimental and numerical investigation

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces an innovative approach to strengthening defected reinforced concrete (RC) columns using externally bonded stainless steel and galvanized steel plates. Unlike conventional strengthening methods, this technique replaces traditional transverse stirrups with steel sheets, providing enhanced confinement and ductility.

Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a mechanics‐based numerical model to characterize the behavior of cold joints in reinforced concrete members subjected to monotonic loading. The model incorporates mechanisms such as interface slip and opening, aggregate interlock, clamping force, and dowel action of the reinforcing bars crossing the interface.

Split‐disk testing of precast ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete tubes

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has great potential for structural applications involving precast cylindrical shapes, including pipes, silos and stay‐in‐place forms for concrete columns. This study examines the performance of UHPFRC rings under internal pressure simulated using the split‐disk loading method, along ...

Post‐earthquake field assessment and damage correlation of elevated reinforced concrete water tanks in Kahramanmaras/Elbistan, Türkiye

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...
