A 0-1 matrix has the consecutive-ones property if its columns can be ordered so that the ones in every row are consecutive. It has the circular-ones property if its columns can be ordered so that, in every row, either the ones or the zeros are consecutive. PQ trees are used for representing all consecutive-ones orderings of the columns of a matrix that has the consecutive-ones property. We give...

Strengthening of existing circular reinforced concrete columns by CFRP confinement

in fact the most suitable method for finding the load bearing capacity of a member under the axial load or axial load and bending is make use of the interaction diagrams. to analysis and design the hollow circular, square and rectangular high strength concrete (hsc) column shapes, a linear strain variation was assumed in the cross-section height of the members and then the static equilibrium eq...

An important application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is to provide confinement to reinforced concrete (RC) columns to enhance their loadcarrying capacity. However, this application is generally restricted to short columns as existing design guidelines do not contain provisions for the design of FRP jackets for slender columns. This situation has been due to both the scarcity of...

This paper explores the effects o f adding synthetic reinforcing fibres to highstrength reinforced concrete columns and in particular only to the cover o f the columns. An experimental program was conducted where seven circular reinforced concrete columns were tested with varying fibre content one contained no fibres, two contained fibres throughout the cross-section and four contained fibres o...
