Influence of the cross section shape on the behaviour of SRG-confined prismatic concrete specimens (2015)
Journal Article
Thermou, G. E., Katakalos, K., & Manos, G. (2016). Influence of the cross section shape on the behaviour of SRG-confined prismatic concrete specimens. Materials and Structures, 49(3), 869-887. doi:10.1617/s11527-015-0545-2

The effectiveness of the steel-reinforced grout (SRG) jacketing technique in increasing both strength and deformation capacity has been substantiated by experimental evidence [1-3]. What it has not been addressed yet is the influence of the cross sec... Read More about Influence of the cross section shape on the behaviour of SRG-confined prismatic concrete specimens.
