Abstract: Test results are presented for nine skew reinforced‐concrete panels subjected to in‐plane uniaxial tension. Data presented include cracking patterns, specimen strains, and steel strains with increasing load. A simple limit ...

Abstract: Most investigations dealing with research on shear focus on concrete members such as reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PC) beams, columns, and slabs. It is difficult for such investigations, which include ...

Abstract: In order to prevent traffic accidents on snow-covered bridge decks, the writers developed a new pipe heating system that uses only groundwater stored in a large underground tank. The underground tank provides geothermal ...

Abstract: Panel‐type concrete structures are generally reinforced with more than one layer of steel in different directions. The response of the panels under general states of in‐plane stress is a function of cracking and the ...
