Abstract: A nonlinear model for the fracture analysis of high strength concrete members is developed through the interactive use of experimental data and finite-element analysis. The experimentally obtained tensile softening ...

Abstract: Three types of stress-strain relations of high-strength concrete under triaxial compression, axial stress–axial and lateral strain, octahedral normal stress–volume change, and octahedral shear stress-strain curves, are ...

Abstract: A numerical analysis is presented for the determination of complete load‐moment‐curvature‐deflection relationships for both short and slender reinforced concrete columns under combined biaxial flexure and axial load. The ...

Abstract: This paper reports the experimental test results of four small-scale concrete-encased I-shape steel columns subjected to biaxial bending moments and axial compressive load in single curvature. The composite column specimens, ...

Abstract: The main objective of the work presented in this paper is to propose a design equation to predict and check the ultimate load capacity of short and slender concrete-encased square and rectangular composite columns under ...

Abstract: Shear failure is catastrophic and occurs usually without advance warning; thus it is desirable that the beam fails in flexure rather than in shear. Many existing reinforced concrete (RC) members are found to be deficient ...

Abstract: A numerical method is developed for the determination of complete load-deformation relationships for slender reinforced concrete tied columns with arbitrary cross sections under combined biaxial flexure and axial load. ...

Abstract: The fatigue crack growth phenomenon is analyzed by means of postulated damage accumulation theory herein. By considering the plastic component of

Abstract: A limit analysis method for predicting the torsional strength of reinforced concrete beams is introduced in this paper. This method uses the modified Coulomb-Mohr failure criterion as the constitutive law of concrete, and ...
