    Abstract
    This article is intended to highlight the effectiveness of longitudinal Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars in combination with GFRP sheets on the flexural capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns. Seven half-scale RC columns including five strengthened and two control unstrengthened specimens were experimentally tested under axial and cyclic lateral loads. The strengthened columns with two different longitudinal GFRP bar ratios were tested under three different axial load levels. The flexural strength and ductility parameters of the specimens were calculated by obtaining their deformations and measuring the loads from load cells. The experimental results indicate significant...

    Abstract
    The seismic performance of steel-plate concrete (SC) shear walls is numerically investigated for various SC wall geometrical shapes. Steel faceplates and infill concrete are two main components of SC walls; a full connection between steel and concrete is required for composite action. A comprehensive set of SC wall specimens with different cross-sectional shapes and geometrical properties were tested in the literature for evaluating their seismic behavior. The numerical responses of 17 tested SC walls, including rectangular, T-shaped, and flanged walls, isolated and coupled walls, with and without boundary elements and endplates, subjected to cyclic lateral loading and a wide range of axial...

    Abstract
    In this paper, Plate Frame Interaction (PFI) developed by other researches for modeling Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) is applied for designing a half-scale, single bay and one story SPSW. After designing of SPSW, one specimen is constructed accordingly. In order to determine the mechanical properties of steel, coupon test is performed; and then again theoretical relations based on PFI is re-checked. In this study, gravity loads are neglected and only seismic resistance of SPSW is considered. With cyclic lateral loading as quasi-static load, according to Acceptance Criteria for Cyclic Racking Shear Tests For Metal-Sheathed Shear Walls with Steel Framing (AC154) and obtaining its hysteretic...
