Behavior of RC beams patch repaired and strengthened with FRP composites : a numerical study
… of steel reinforcements, poor maintenance and design, earthquakes and aging. Patch repair and structural strengthening using fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) have been increasingly adopted all over the world as an economical solution to upgrade the load carrying capacity of such beams. However, …

Nonlinear Finite Element Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Frames Retrofitted with Shape Memory Alloy Buckling Restrained Braces
… are vulnerable when subjected to high-magnitude earthquakes since they lack the capacity to properly dissipate the energy associated with the ground excitation. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the benefits of Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs) as a retrofit technique for accommodating …

Disaggregated Seismic Hazard and the Elastic Input Energy Spectrum: An Approach to Design Earthquake Selection
The design earthquake selection problem is fundamentally probabilistic. Disaggregation of a probabilistic model of the seismic hazard offers a rational and objective approach that can identify the most likely earthquake scenario(s) contributing to hazard. An ensemble of time series can be selected …
