Abstract: The analysis of beam‐column systems resting on a Winkler foundation is simplified using modern numerical techniques. Recently, finite elements based on the solution of the governing differential equation have been derived ...

Abstract: Various aspects of a general finite‐element program for the nonlinear analysis of steel‐and‐concrete structures is described. The program accounts for the nonlinear behavior of concrete, steel, and shear connectors. Concrete ...

Abstract: A thin‐walled‐box‐girder finite element that can model extension, flexure, torsion, torsional warping, distortion, distortional warping, and shear lag effects was developed using an extended version of Vlasov's thin‐walled ...

Abstract: To delay or prevent debonding of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminate from concrete substrate, a new carbon FRP (CFRP) anchor is developed. The monolithically built anchor comprises two legs and a wide ...

Abstract: The mechanisms of shear transfer in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete members with shear reinforcement are discussed, and it is explained how these were used to derive the shear design provisions of the ...

Abstract: A commonly observed failure mode in laboratory tests involving surface bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates or near-surface-mounted (NSM) bars is premature delamination, that is, the separation of the FRP from ...

Abstract: This study is concerned with the determination of the effects of shear span-to-depth ratio (

Abstract: A chloride binding model consisting of physical adsorption and chemical ion exchange was proposed. Chemical binding was quantified based on the thermodynamic equilibrium of the relevant hydrated phases while physical ...

Abstract: Accidental or premeditated explosions have detrimental effects on the infrastructure near the center of explosion and pose major threats to human life. Thus, research is currently underway to study the effects of explosions ...
