Abstract: The American Concrete Institute recently updated their one-way shear provisions for steel–reinforced concrete (RC), and it is time to consider updating provisions for one-way shear in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced ...

Abstract: The flexural and shear performances are evaluated for concrete beams reinforced with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebar and stirrups. Nine

Abstract: The axial and flexure combined loading performance of a slender partially-composite concrete insulated wall design constructed using basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) shear connectors and longitudinal BFRP reinforcement ...

Abstract: Embedded plates (EPs) are commonly used to connect steel to reinforced concrete elements. Due to a lack of industry-wide standard designs, EPs are custom designed for every instance in each project. This leads to many ...

Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) shear connectors provide much reduced thermal bridging in insulated concrete sandwich panels compared to steel connectors. In this study, 50 specimens with dimensions of

Abstract: Mass timber panel (MTP)-concrete composite floors are gaining increasing interest from builders and designers due to their optimized structural performance, light self-weight, and aesthetically exposed wood ceilings. Among ...

Abstract: Mass timber panel–concrete (MTPC) composite floor systems are currently the preferred choice of designers for multistory modern mass timber construction. An analytical model for one-way-acting composite panels has been ...

Abstract: Loadbearing, concrete masonry walls are an effective structural system to resist combined out-of-plane and gravity loads. A large portion of the market for these walls is composed of single-story warehouse and industry ...

Abstract: The residual flexural behavior of semilightweight prestressed concrete voided slab girders taken from a decommissioned 28-year-old bridge near Barrhead, Alberta, Canada was investigated. The residual flexural behaviors ...
