Abstract:One of the reasons that cause the collapse of buildings is deficient short columns, which need to be retrofitted to prevent the collapse of the building in a potential earthquake. External reinforced concrete (RC), steel plates, and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing are standard retrofitting methods to retrofit columns to increase their shear capacity. However, in compression shear failure, the effectiveness of steel and FRP jacketing is quite limited due to the premature buckling of the FRP and steel m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
