Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reinforced concrete, as a commonly used construction material in engineering practice, is susceptible to damage during its service life owing to the severe environment and different loading conditions. The damage of structures may lead to the deterioration of the performance of this component, such as its stiffness, load-carrying capacity, and deformability. Therefore, over the past several decades, the repair and renovation of existing structures have become increasingly attractive. However, evaluating the performance of the structures after strengthening and repair has also become an important issue in this research field.
This Special Issue is devoted to new research and development activities in regard to the behavior and properties of reinforced concrete, particularly for the strengthening and repairing of this member. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: strengthening technique; strengthening effect assessment; structural performance; reinforced concrete; and numerical analysis.
