A Comparative Evaluation of Geopolymer, Conventional and GFRP Retrofitting Techniques in Augmenting Seismic Robustness of RC Structures
Abstract: Abstract The requirement of retrofitting an old existing structure, rendered structurally unsafe (based on its structural health assessment) is observed to be a major challenge faced by engineers as it necessitates comprehensive and complicated repair procedures. It was further seen that during earthquake, the main reason for failure of any structure was the failure of its beam column joints, thereby making it essential to strengthen them specifically. Until recently, the …

A Model for Plastic-Hydrolytic Damage Bioresorbable Polymer Composites
Abstract: This paper explains and assesses a recently developed constitutive model for elastic-damage that may sustain plastic-hydrolytic damage. When a metallic material is subjected to plastic strain, voids and microcracks in the metal matrix start to form, develop, and merge. This is what causes ductilitydegradation in metals. Only a few of the many models that have been presented to depict ductile failure have done a thorough analysis of the entire damage …
