Experimental study on strengthening interior beam column joints in reinforced concrete structures using wing walls

The test results validated the feasibility and effectiveness of strengthening interior beam‒column joints via the wing wall installation method. In the design for practical engineering strengthening, it is essential to first assess whether the joints of the existing structure require strengthening. If strengthening is deemed necessary, the extent of reinforcement must be determined; specifically, the […]
