Abstract: This paper presents the results from an experimental program that studied the effects of simulated delamination and corrosion on the structural response of six two-way slab-column specimens with details typical of older ...

Abstract: Research has shown that the addition of steel fibers to concrete results in improved postcracking tensile capacity leading to enhanced toughness, ductility, and damage tolerance. These performance enhancements make steel ...

Abstract: Extensive research has shown that properly detailed and closely spaced transverse reinforcement in reinforced concrete columns can ensure ductile behavior during earthquakes. However, in regions of high seismicity, detailing ...
