Experimental and Numerical Studies of Reinforced Concrete Columns with Openings Strengthened Using High-Performance Concrete Jackets and Near-Surface-Mounted Reinforcing Bars
In practice, openings in reinforced concrete (RC) members may be introduced to accommodate mechanical/electrical services or may be created accidentally during renovation, compromising structural integrity. This paper proposes integrated strengthening method for RC columns with a circular opening at mid-height using en...
