Influence of strips configuration on the behaviour of axially loaded RC columns strengthened by steel angles and strips

Bearing capacity of steel-caged RC columns under combined bending and axial loads: Estimation based on Artificial Neural Networks

“…The work is a continuation of previous studies [1,8,9,11,12,[14][15][16][17][18]25] carried out at the Institute of Concrete Science and Technology (ICITECH) of the Universitat Politècnica de València. The ANNs are trained and tested based on 950 results obtained using a validated FE model [18].…”

“…This technique distinctly improves the behavior of RC columns. There have been previous experimental [5,[8][9][10] and numerical [1,[11][12][13] studies on the behavior of isolated columns strengthened by steel caging and subjected to axial loads. A detailed study of the beam-column joint was carried out by Adam et al [14,15].…”

An experimental study on steel-caged RC columns subjected to axial force and bending moment

“…This study is a continuation of the work previously carried out in the Institute of Concrete Science and Technology (ICITECH) of the Technical University of Valencia on the behaviour of axially loaded RC columns strengthened by steel caging [1,[8][9][10]12,13,15,16].…”

“…Several experimental studies have been conducted on isolated sections of strengthened columns under axial loads [5,[9][10][11] as well as diverse numerical studies [1,[12][13][14]. The influence of the beam-column joint on the global behaviour of axially loaded RC columns strengthened by steel caging has also been examined [15,16].…”

Flexural response of external R.C. beam–column joints externally strengthened with steel cages

“…To satisfy these requirements, close spacing with sufficient strength of battens and stiff and strong angles are necessary. Several analytical and numerical studies have been addressed to giving clear indications on the design and the calculus of this retrofitting system [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. The aim of this research is to show how external steel cages in a retrofitting technique can become effective in transforming the failure mode of R.C.…”
