Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation undertaken to evaluate the punching shear capacity of interior slab–column connections, strengthened using flexible carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a statistical analysis aimed to optimize a concrete mix design for hot climates. A full factorial experiment with 3 × 4 × 4 × 3 treatment combinations (432) samples) of 48 mixes at three ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation undertaken to evaluate a new technique for strengthening interior slab–column connection in combined flexural and shear modes are presented. The technique consists of using a ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a finite element study of the severe cold bending of thick, high-strength steel plates using an explicit, two-dimensional, finite element code. A parametric study ...
