The lateral confinement of masonry columns using composites have shown to improve their strength and ductility. Although, several research studies were focused on investigating the monotonic compression behaviour confined in past, cyclic characteristics, which are necessary for seismic dynamic analyses, not well investigated. Thus, an attempt has been made experimentally characterise under axia...

Anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) injuries account for only 1% of all the nerve injuries at the upper limb. We report the case of a 22-year-old male who sustained a penetrating injury to the arm. No neurological deficit was found at the initial evaluation. However, 6 weeks later, he had a motor deficit confined to the territory of the AIN with weakness of the flexor pollicis longus and flexor d...

We examine the buckling shape and critical compression of confined inhomogeneous composite sheets lying on a liquid foundation. The modes are controlled by bending stiffness sheet,...

This paper investigates experimentally the structural performance of substandard reinforced concrete (RC) short columns confined with steel-reinforced grout (SRG) jackets under monotonically increasing uniaxial compression. The study comprised 24 square cross section RC having alternative arrangements shear reinforcement (ratio stirrup spacing to longitudinal bar diameter ranging from 4.2 12.5)...
