Axially Loaded RC Walls with Cutout Openings Strengthened with FRCM Composites
Sabau, Cristian; Popescu, Cosmin; Sas, Gabriel; Blanksvärd, Thomas; Täljsten, Björn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Abstract: Upgrading existing buildings to new functional requirements may require new openings that can weaken the structure, prompting the need for strengthening. In such cases traditional strengthening solutions, such ... -
Effect of Confinement with FRCM Composites on Damaged Concrete Cylinders
Gonzalez-Libreros, Jaime; Sabau, Cristian; Sneed, Lesley H.; Sas, Gabriel; Pellegrino, Carlo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Confinement of axially loaded concrete members in existing structures is required when a change in use is expected or when there is a need to upgrade the structure to meet current design standards. In addition, after unusual ... -
Experimental study on shear deformation of reinforced concrete beams using digital image correlation
Huang, Zheng; Tu, Yongming; Meng, Shaoping; Sabau, Cristian; Popescu, Cosmin; Sas, Gabriel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper presents an experimental program aimed at providing reliable and comprehensive experimental data for assessing the available models of predicting the shear deformation of diagonally-cracked reinforced concrete ... -
Local and global behavior of walls with cut-out openings in multi-story reinforced concrete buildings
Sabau, Cristian; Popescu, Cosmin; Bagge, Niklas; Sas, Gabriel; Blanksvärd, Thomas; Täljsten, Björn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper presents the finite element analysis (FEA) results of a multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) building having precast and cast-in-place load bearing walls. Door-type cut-out openings (height: 2.1 m, width: 0.9–4.4 ... -
Review of FRCM strengthening solutions for structural wall panels
Sabau, Cristian; Popescu, Cosmin; Sas, Gabriel; Blanksvärd, Thomas; Täljsten, Björn (Chapter, 2018)This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art on the topic of structural wall panels strengthened using fabric reinforced cementitious matrix composites (FRCM) composites. A systematic review of the literature is carried out ... -
State of research on shear strengthening of RC beams with FRCM composites
Gonzalez-Libreros, Jaime H.; Sabau, Cristian; Sneed, Lesley H.; Pellegrino, Carlo; Sas, Gabriel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper summarizes the state of research on the topic of shear strengthening of RC beams using externally bonded FRCM composites. In the first part of this paper, a detailed bibliographical review of the literature on ... -
