Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete
Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete is a research topic within Building and Construction. Science Explorer counts 52k research works in it since 1950. 18.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites in construction, particularly in strengthening concrete structures. It covers topics such as design-oriented stress–strain models for FRP-confined concrete, bond-slip models for FRP sheets/plates bonded to concrete, and the durability performance of FRP reinforcing bars. The cluster also explores the behavior of FRP-confined concrete under axial compression, finite element analysis of FRP-to-concrete bonded joints, and stress–strain models for concrete confined by FRP composites.

Which countries lead Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete research?
By volume, China and India publish the most (4.9k and 1.1k works in 2022–2025).
How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
