- Numerical validation of experimental results for the moment capacity of vegetal FRCM-strengthened beams
- Full-scale application of vegetal FRCM for retrofitting non-engineered buildings in Nepal
- Modeling and numerical simulation of bare frames and retrofitted models
- Eigenvalue analysis, pushover analysis, assessment of ductility reduction factors, and fragility analysis
- Conclusion: Increase in base shear and ductility, and reduction in the vulnerability of retrofitted models
- Tools used: DIANA 10.3, MATLAB, AutoCAD, LaTeX
Research Interests:
