The results of finite element analysis of reinforced concrete Vierendeel sandwich plates (RCVSP) using beam-plate elements calculation model show a significant discrepancy with the actual results.

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 ...

Abstract: In recent advancements in structural engineering, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement has emerged as a notable innovation, for enhancing the strength of reinforced concrete (RC) ...
