Abstract: In this paper a general study on tubular adhesive joint under axial load is presented. We focus our attention on both static and dynamic behavior of the joint, including shear and normal ...

Abstract: The problem of end-plate debonding of the external reinforcement in strengthened concrete beams is analyzed in this paper. As experimentally observed, this mode of failure is highly brittle and poses severe limitations to ...

Abstract: The writers present a fracture mechanics model for reinforced concrete collapse, which is a refinement of that proposed previously, based on compliance and stress‐intensification concepts. In this case, a crack‐opening ...

Abstract: A dimensional analysis criterion is proposed to compute the minimum amount of reinforcement for high‐strength concrete members in flexure. Such an amount is assumed to be provided by the condition of simultaneous first ...
