Abstract:Due to insufficient transverse reinforcement, the retrofitting of beam–column joints (BCJs) in existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures is commonly required to alter their brittle behavior. The construction industry has extensively embraced carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (C-FRPs) as near-surface-mounted (NSM) reinforcement. Monitoring the performance of C-FRP retrofitting is crucial due to the wide range of factors influencing its effectiveness. A novel methodology has been implemented to assess th… Show more
