• 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 ...
