Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the application of pre-stressed high strength metal strips in retrofit of RC columns. Six 2/3 scale were deliberately designated with insufficient transverse reinforcement details and tested under constant axial and cyclic lateral load reversals. The level of axial load and the pattern of strengthening were parameters of this study. It was observed that the technique has been capable to enhance the lateral behavior of columns significantly, in terms of ductility. Very ductile behavior was obtained. The height-wise variations of lateral strain on confining strips are studied. The analysis of the fiber-based model of tested columns...

Abstract
Reinforced concrete columns with insufficient transverse steel reinforcement are not capable to dissipate seismic energy due to lack of necessary ductility. In this research, six RC columns with poor transverse reinforcements are tested under cyclic and axial loads as control columns and retrofitted ones. Prestressed and non-pre-stressed CFRP strips used as external transverse reinforcement to evaluate the benefits of active and passive confinement. Results indicate that additional confinement due to the use of CFRP strips enhances the strength, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of columns. The advantages of active confinement versus passive confinement are demonstrated too. © 2006...

Abstract
This paper compares the results of a nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) of an internal hybrid steel beam to RC column connections with those of the experiment on a half-scale. This study used extended face bearing plates (EFBP) embedded in the panel zone (PZ) to make prefabricated RC column to steel beam connections (PRCS). Steel beam flanges were made to be stronger than scaled sections to transfer more force to the PZ. Nonlinear FEA was performed with ABAQUS software to evaluate the connections under unidirectional loading. Failure mode, connection stiffness, and PZ shear strength determined by nonlinear FEA matched well with the experimental findings. PRCS1 model was used to evaluate...
