Rehabilitation of Reinforced Concrete Columns

In recent years, rehabilitation has been the subject of extensive research due to increased spending on building work and repair of built works. In all cases, it is absolutely essential to carry out methods of strengthening or repair of structural elements, and that following an inspection analysis and methodology of a correct diagnosis. The reinforced concrete columns are important elements in...

«ultimate capacity of slender crncrete and reinforced concerete columns »

a subject of the investigation is the behavior of concrete and reinforced concrete columns under different loading conditions. the experimental study comprised a great number of tests on hinged - end columns with slenderness ratio within 35 and 155 subjected to both short and long - time loads applied at different eccentricities. the strength of concrete and the steel percentage varied in a wid...

Development of Shear Capacity Equations for Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beams

The problem of shear is not yet fully understood due to involvement of number of parameters. Designers are extra careful about shear, especially in beams and consequently higher safety factors are used in shear design. Several equations are available in literature to determine the shear capacity of beams, i.e. ACI equation, Zsutty equation and KIM & White equation. To verify the application of ...

Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Columns

There are a large number of reinforced concrete buildings in seismically active areas of the world that are not built in accordance with modern seismic design provisions such as those published by American Concrete Institution ([ACI] Committee 318, 2008). In the United States and other parts of the developed world, these buildings were constructed between 1930s to mid 1970s according to the bui...
