"Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer-Reinforced Beam-Column Connections with" by Muhammad Safdar, M. Neaz Sheikh et al.
This paper proposes two novel reinforcement details for glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete (RC) exterior beam-column connections. Four RC exterior beam-column connections with different connection details (SH-bend, GH-bend, Z-bend, and U-bend) were tested under reversed cyclic loading. The two conventional connection details (SH-bend and GH-bend) comprised three 90-degree hooked bar anchorages for longitudinal reinforcement of the beam and four rectangular stirrups (steel or GFRP) within the connection region. In the two novel connection details (Z-bend and U-bend) propo...
