Effect of web reinforcement on the seismic response of concrete squat walls reinforced with glass-FRP bars
Six full-scale concrete squat walls reinforced with glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) bars were tested to failure under quasi-static reversed cyclic loading. Each test specimen measured 200 mm thick, 1500 mm long, and 2000 mm high. The test parameters were the configuration of web reinforcement (horizontal and/or vertical) and the horizontal web reinforcement ratio. The test specimens experienced different mode of failures as ... إقراء المزيد
