Structural performance of RC columns retrofitted with steel-reinforced grout jackets under combined axial and lateral loading (2021)
Journal Article
Thermou, G. E., Papanikolaou, V. K., & Hajirasouliha, I. (2021). Structural performance of RC columns retrofitted with steel-reinforced grout jackets under combined axial and lateral loading. Engineering Structures, 245, Article 112946. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2021.112946

The effectiveness of steel-reinforced grout (SRG) jacketing in improving the structural performance of deficient reinforced concrete (RC) columns is experimentally investigated in this study. Four full-scale cantilever columns were designed following...

In this paper, a new time‐effective modeling approach is proposed for predicting the response of shear‐deficient reinforced concrete (R/C) beams strengthened with steel‐reinforced grout (SRG) jackets. Solid finite elements are utilized for concrete... Read More about A FEM-based model to study the behavior of SRG-strengthened R/C beams.
