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.

Flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular beams with wood chip aggregate
Abstract This study investigates the flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) beams with partial replacement of aggregates by wood chips (0%–25%) through experimental and numerical analysis. This study is novel in that it experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural behavior of CFST beams with partial replacement of ...

Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...
