Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Flexural Behavior of Composite-Reinforced Top-Hat Shape Beam by Nima Zahedan, Hamed Ahmadi, Gholam Hossein Liaghat

“…Three types of reinforced beams are presented which are either improved by composite-laminating, or by installation of an extra composite-made internal reinforcement. Experimental tests are performed in quasi-static three-point bending condition and based on results, a FE simulation is developed using LS-Dyna explicit code. …”

Analysis of Dynamic Response of Composite Reinforcement Concrete Square Piles Under Multi-Directional Seismic Excitation by Chenxi Fu, Gang Gan, Kepeng Chen, Kai Fan

“…This study employs large-scale shaking table tests to evaluate the seismic response of a single composite reinforcement square pile embedded in a soft clay foundation under different horizontal excitations (0° and 45°) and two distinct ground motions (Wenchuan Songpan and Chi-Chi) to assess directional anisotropy and resonance effects, with explicit consideration of soil–structure interaction (SSI). …”
