    A Novel Hybrid Thin Jacketing Method for Seismic Retrofitting of Substandard Reinforced Concrete Columns
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025) Narlitepe, Furkan; Kian, Nima; Demir, Ugur; Demir, Cem; Ilki, Alper
    This paper introduces a novel hybrid thin jacketing method for seismic strengthening of substandard reinforced concrete (RC) columns for which structural repair mortar along with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and longitudinal steel bars are utilized. The method involves three application phases comprising a) removing the cover concrete, b) re-forming the cover concrete with structural repair mortar just after installing extra longitudinal steel bars c) transverse wrapping of CFRP sheets. The effect of using different types of structural repair mortar and its application process are other test parameters taken into account in this study. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed method, a comprehensive experimental program was conducted, consisting of six largescale RC column specimens with square and rectangular cross-sections. For all of the specimens tested under a simultaneous constant axial load and reversed cyclic lateral loading, three main properties representing existing substandard RC columns such as a) insufficient transverse reinforcement, b) high axial load ratio (0.75) and, c) relatively high shear force corresponding to moment capacity to shear capacity ratios between 0.60 and 0.80, were considered. The responses of specimens were specified in terms of the lateral load-displacement curves, stiffness variation, ductility ratios, damage progression, and energy dissipation. The experimental results demonstrated that in case the retrofitting method is properly applied, the strengthened columns exhibit satisfactory performance in terms of strength and ductility with a remarkable improvement with respect to the substandard columns. Furthermore, a numerical study was conducted to validate the experimental results by using the OpenSees framework.

    Strength Requirements of Permanent Metal Deck Forms Used for Lateral Bracing of Steel Bridge Girders
    (2006) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Helwig, T.A.; Herman, R.S.
    Permanent metal deck forms (PMDF) are often used in steel bridges to support the weight of the wet concrete during deck construction. Although the PMDF also has the potential to provide bracing to steel bridge girders during construction, the stiffness of the PMDF system as a lateral brace is drastically reduced by the eccentric support angle connection detail used to attach the forms to the girders. Laboratory tests have shown that a simple modification to the connection detail can substantially increase the stiffness of these PMDF systems and allow utilization of the PMDF for girder bracing. This paper presents results from a parametrical study conducted to determine stability and strength requirements for PMDF used to provide lateral bracing to steel bridge girders. Detailed FEA models were used to determine the stability bracing strength requirements for the fasteners that are used to connect the PMDF along the sidelaps of the sheets and to the girders. Design expressions are presented as well as an example demonstrating the use of the design equations.
