The evaluation of half-cell potential measurements in reinforced concrete (RC) members can be a key issue for civil engineers. primary reason this is that the interpretation based on available standards provides information related only to possibility corrosion concrete, but it does not provide clear perception influence capacity RC members. objective study two-fold: (1) explore level flexural ...

Due to inadequacies of reinforcement design in older structures and changes building codes, but also the change use existing structures, reinforced concrete (RC) beams often require upgrading during renovation. The combined shear flexural strengthening with composite materials, fibre-reinforced polymer sheets (FRP) textile mortars (TRM), is assessed this study. An experimental campaign on twelv...

In this study, an experimental program was developed to investigate the flexural behavior of pre-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams that had been repaired and strengthened using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates under a monotonic load. Two techniques were used: externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) near-surface-mounted (NSM) reinforcement, repair strengthen tested beams. The ...

In determining the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in national and international earthquake regulations, it is desired to use effective section stiffness cracked RC structural elements during design phase. Although not constant, depends on parameters such as strength reinforcement ratio. this study, beam models with different strength, tensile compression ratios were ...

To improve the ductility and seismic performance of a double coupling beam, authors applied polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet steel tube to form fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–concrete–steel double-skin tubular (DST) composite beams. A low-cyclic reversed experimental program was carried out which factored in member form, diameter, construction methods. The results indicate that energy dis...
