      Characterization of the structural performance of strain-hardening fiber reinforced cementitious composites 

      Georgiou, Antroula V. (Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Πολυτεχνική Σχολή / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Engineering, 2017-05)
      H συνεχόμενη επέκταση του δομημένου περιβάλλοντος και η υιοθέτηση δυτικών προτύπων στον “αναπτυσσόμενο” κόσμο δημιουργούν νέα ζητήματα και ανάγκες σχετικά με την βιωσιμότητα του σκυροδέματος. Οι πρόσφατες εξελίξεις στο ...

      Effect of yield penetration on column plastic hinge length 

      Megalooikonomou, K. G.; Tastani, S. P.; Pantazopoulou, Stavroula J. (2018)
      The required confined zone in critical regions of columns and piers undergoing lateral sway during earthquakes is related to the plastic hinge length where inelastic deformation and damage develops. The exact definition ...

      Experimental investigation on the confining effect of fibers in SHFRCC 

      Georgiou, A. V.; Pantazopoulou, Stavroula J. (2017)
      Strain Hardening Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (SHFRCC) comprise of a mix design that differs from normal concrete mixes. Fibers act as mass reinforcement leading to large deformation capacities, bridging of the ...

      Mechanical properties and durability performance of reinforced concrete containing fly ash 

      Chousidis, N.; Rakanta, E.; Ioannou, Ioannis; Batis, G. (2015)
      This study presents the effect of Greek fly ash as a partial replacement of cement, on the durability and mechanical resistance of reinforced concrete immersed in sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The aforementioned additive ...

      A mechanistic approach in defining inelastic rotation capacity of RC columns 

      Megalooikonomou, K. G.; Pantazopoulou, Stavroula J.; Tastani, S. P. (National Technical University of Athens, 2017)
      When a reinforced concrete (RC) column is subjected to lateral sway as a result of earthquake action, the large strain demand in the end sections is supported by development of strains in the anchorage. This causes the ...

      Seismic Rehabilitation of Substandard R.C. Buildings with Masonry Infills 

      Pardalopoulos, S. I.; Pantazopoulou, Stavroula J.; Thermou, G. E. (2018)
      Seismic deformation demands are localized in areas of stiffness discontinuity, such as in the soft storys of frame structures, where disproportionate damage is often reported in post-earthquake reconnaissance. In many parts ...

      Simplified method for rapid seismic assessment of older R.C. buildings 

      Pardalopoulos, S. I.; Pantazopoulou, Stavroula J.; Lekidis, V. A. (2018)
      After several years of progress in earthquake design procedures, existing reinforced concrete buildings that fall short of modern standards still represent the vast majority of the built environment. Poorly reinforced ...
