Abstract: Available flexural strength formulas mainly focus on rectangular concrete beams exclusively prestressed with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tendons. Moreover, an iterative procedure is required when FRP rupture governs the ...

Abstract: Due to a lack of bonds between external tendons and adjacent concrete and the potential variation in the eccentricities of the tendons (second-order effect), the analysis of the ultimate strength behavior of externally ...

Abstract: The fracture behavior of pipes with penetrating cracks was experimentally investigated with the results of the load-deflection curves and crack length. J-R curves were obtained from the testing ...

Abstract: Existing studies show that rainfall has a significant impact on bus ridership, and few studies exist on the impact of rainfall on urban rail transit (URT) ridership. Based on the daily and hourly URT ridership and rainfall ...
