Revision: Some of the entries in columns 4 and 5 of Table 6.8 have been revised (9/10/2019). Abstract: The main objective of this report is to improve the profession’s understanding of the seismic ...
Use of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete in construction will allow for the use of less and simpler steel reinforcement while maintaining good structural behavior and potentially reducing the amount of ...
The study approaches the size effect problem from three aspects, culminating in a proposed correction formula that demonstrates high accuracy in predicting the seismic performance of CFRP-reinforced ...
This project quantified the improvement in structural behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls retrofitted with a new method that allows the walls to rock over the foundation and self-center after ...
Research into the technique used to connect reinforced concrete walls to their foundations is set to have a significant impact on the New Zealand construction industry. Researchers at the University ...
