Compressive behaviour of concrete columns confined with steel-reinforced grout jackets (2017)
Journal Article
Thermou, G. E., & Hajirasouliha, I. (2018). Compressive behaviour of concrete columns confined with steel-reinforced grout jackets. Composites Part B: Engineering, 138, 222-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2017.11.041

This paper investigates the compressive strength of concrete columns confined with a new jacketing system using high strength steel reinforced fabrics embedded in an inorganic matrix (SRG). A comprehensive experimental programme was conducted on 52 c... Read More about Compressive behaviour of concrete columns confined with steel-reinforced grout jackets.

Experimental investigation of substandard RC columns confined with SRG jackets under compression (2017)
Journal Article
Thermou, G. E., Katakalos, K., & Manos, G. (2018). Experimental investigation of substandard RC columns confined with SRG jackets under compression. Composite Structures, 184, 56-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2017.09.082

This paper aims to explore the behaviour of substandard reinforced concrete (RC) columns confined with Steel-Reinforced Grout (SRG) jackets under monotonically increasing uniaxial compression. A total of 24 specimens of short RC columns of square cro... Read More about Experimental investigation of substandard RC columns confined with SRG jackets under compression.

Retrofit Design Methodology for Substandard R.C. Buildings with Torsional Sensitivity (2017)
Journal Article
Thermou, G. E., & Psaltakis, M. (2018). Retrofit Design Methodology for Substandard R.C. Buildings with Torsional Sensitivity. Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 22(7), 1233-1258. doi:10.1080/13632469.2016.1277569

Recent earthquakes have revealed the susceptibility of non-ductile reinforced concrete (R.C.) buildings with deficiencies related to stiffness and/or mass irregularities in plan and elevation. This paper proposes a design methodology for the seismic... Read More about Retrofit Design Methodology for Substandard R.C. Buildings with Torsional Sensitivity.
