Experimental and Analytical Evaluation of Strengthening Techniques for Ultra-High-Performance Concrete Circular Columns

This study presents an experimental investigation to evaluate the effectiveness of four schemes for strengthening circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns. The columns were cast using ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). Ten RC columns, categorized into five groups including...

Enhancing shear capacity of wide RC beams with planted columns: steel rods vs. conventional stirrups

Reinforced concrete (RC) wide beams supporting planted columns are frequently employed in non-seismic regions, particularly throughout the Middle East, to transfer concentrated gravity loads from upper floor levels. However, inadequate shear reinforcement in older or improperly d...
