Abstract: The hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete structures depends in large measure on the transfer mechanism between reinforcing steel and concrete through bond and the resulting slip. This paper presents a finite-element ...

Abstract: In this paper, the use of localized tendons to prestress statically indeterminate structures is examined. To determine the prestressing moments produced by localized tendons, the fixed-end moments should first be computed. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the efficiency of tendon profiles is examined for the internal and external prestressing of statically indeterminate structures. The statically indeterminate component of the total prestressing moment is ...

Abstract: Tests on two-way reinforced concrete slab-column connections with simulated delamination are reported. The experimental results are compared with test results of companion specimens to investigate the effects of significant ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the development process of a multistrand wedge anchor head mechanism. Generally, this development process involves a number of different experimental tests but, while informative and necessary, these ...
