Abstract: Tests of deep concrete beams with internal fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement have shown that such members can exhibit lower shear strength than members with conventional steel reinforcement. To model this effect, ...

Abstract: This paper is aimed at addressing the need for physically accurate and computationally effective models for predicting the response of shear-dominated reinforced concrete walls. The presented theory is based on a ...

Abstract: The maintenance or replacement of critical infrastructure exposed to aggressive environments is a major problem in many countries. To address this issue, alternative noncorrosive materials, such as fiber-reinforced polymers ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) coupling beams in pre-1970s coupled-wall structures often feature a small number of stirrups, and thus are susceptible to shear failure along inclined cracks. In short beams with a span-to-depth ...
