Abstract: This paper addressed the influence of stirrup configurations in wide beams on the effectiveness of stirrups in contributing to shear resistance as a ratio of the nominal shear stirrup strength. The evaluation was made by ...

Abstract: Standard concrete creep prediction models are essential for structural design; however, it would be unrealistic to expect accurate prediction results without calibration and validations through experimental studies involving ...

Abstract: One-way reinforced concrete joist floor with wide shallow beams (WSBs) are used widely in building construction throughout the Middle East. Situations arise when it is desirable to strengthen a specific member or a group ...
