Following previous studies, the authors describe an experimental study performed to analyze the influence of the interface treatment on the seismic behavior of columns strengthened by reinforced concrete (RC) jacketing to increase their ultimate bending moment. A numerical study, subsequently conducted to further investigate this subject, is also presented.
