Isfahan University of Technology Journal of Computational Methods in Engineering 2228-7698 25 2 2022 12 31 A Theoretical Study of the Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns Strengthened by Steel Plates and Transverse Reinforcements A Theoretical Study of the Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns Strengthened by Steel Plates and Transverse Reinforcements 65 72 2947 FA M. Sheikhi And H. Haji-Kazemi Journal Article 2022 12 31 Jacketing of reinforced concrete columns is a common and useful strengthening method. This method substantially improves mechanical properties of the column, such as flexural strength as well as shear and ductility. In this paper, the behavior of confined reinforced concrete columns are investigated. The results indicate that the method is more effective for slender columns in the region of their failure zone.
