This paper presents test results obtained from an experimental investigation to check the feasibility of reinforcing laminated bamboo columns by using aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP) composites and examine effect slenderness ratio on AFRP columns. Eighteen full-scale were grouped into 6 categories including 3 specimens without reinforcements. Obtained used study failure modes, ultimate l...

Strong vertical ground motions can significantly alter axial forces in a bridge column. Axial force variations also affect the concrete contribution to the shear capacity of a reinforced concrete (RC) member. However, the effect of axial force demands on shear capacity is a fairly complex issue since the shear demand in an RC bridge column is affected by variations in the axial force. A combine...
