...Sandeep Kumar Nara; Abhay Kumar; Shanmugam Suriya Prakash Confinement using fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) is an effective solution for strengthening reinforced concrete ( RC ) columns. However, the confinement of FRP is less effective for rectangular wall-type columns (WTCs) having aspect...

...Kangjia Cao; Ziyi Mao; Kang Ma; Huawei Li; Qingke Nie; Qingxin Zhao; Haifeng Yu; Zhuo Wang; Ruoyang Wu The utilisation of coal gasification ash ( CGA ) is an important way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the construction industry. Regarding columns made using coal gasification ash concrete...

...Hong Xiang; Fuyu Mao; Chen Wu; Shenglan Ma A novel confined concrete constitutive model for steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) columns with cross-shaped steel (CSS) sections is proposed. The model is based on the similar characteristics of descending branches in the stress–strain curves of confined...

...Tai-Kuang Lee; Cheng-Cheng Chen; Guo-Luen Huang In reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, the seismic behaviour of RC beams with flush outside faces of beams and columns has not been verified by experiments. In this study, four large RC beam specimens were fabricated and an experimental verification...

...Mizan Ahmed; Saad Yehia; Ramy Shahin; Mohamed Emara; Vipulkumar Ishvarbhai Patel; Qing Quan Liang This paper presents a computational model for determining the axial responses of short circular steel–reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular (SRCFST) columns. A novel confinement model is formulated...

..., columns, slabs and walls, in order to develop guidelines for using them confidently. Studies indicate that, as the percentage of reinforcement increases from 0.5 to 2%, the ultimate load of BRC beams also increases. However, beyond 2% reinforcement, the load-carrying capacity decreases, possibly...

...Mohamed K. Ismail; Ahmed Yosri; Wael El-Dakhakhni A number of regression-based models have been proposed to quantify the seismic shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. However, most of these models suffer from a high degree of uncertainty as a result of the limited datasets used...

...Jinjin Xu; Zhimin Wu; Hongbin Jia; Rena C. Yu; Qi Cao Using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars instead of steel bars to reinforce concrete columns in harsh environments has become important for solving corrosion problems. The brittleness of FRP bars significantly reduces the column ductility...

...Ping Li; Liu Jin; Xiuli Du Very few studies have been dedicated to the size effect on the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. In particular, there lacks a design equation that can quantitatively represent the effect of related parameters on the size effect on nominal shear strength...

...Liu Jin; Ping Li; Xiuli Du Numerous studies have indicated the existence of a size effect on the axial compressive behaviour of stirrup-confined concrete columns. However, most of these studies have focused on nominal compressive strength. Investigations of the size effect on the axial strain...
