Review Study on re-strengthening of reinforced concrete circular column using steel strips
Abstract: This technique fixes thin steel plates i.e. steel encasement or tie plates i.e. steel cage around the column with steel angles at each corner, clamped to the concrete and welded together. Adequate tightening of the jackets can be ensured by means of heat tensioning. The use of steel jackets can enhance the shear strength of columns considerably. However, due to their low flexural stiffness they typically have poor confinement efficiency …

Seismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing Subjected to Eccentric Load
Abstract: Reinforced soil bed is improved soil strata from its weak unreinforced original form. By introducing reinforcing ties or strips the soil bed improves on its strength and is rendered less settleable. The compensations of introducing reinforcements have been widely studied by many researchers. The present work has evaluations, formulations and calculations for bearing capacity under certain seismic excitation when the strip footing on reinforced soil was subjected to eccentric loading. …
