Alternative Shear Reinforcement for Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the first series of validation tests for a patented shear reinforcement system for reinforced concrete flat slabs. The system, called “Shearband,” consists of elongated thin steel strips punched with ...
Design Issues for Concrete Reinforced with Steel Fibers, Including Fibers Recovered from Used Tires
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The writers are investigating the use of steel fibers, recovered from used tires (RSF), as concrete reinforcement, aiming at the development of design recommendations. This paper presents part of this research and examines ...
In-Plane Cyclic Performance of Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Flax Textile–Reinforced Mortar Overlays
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of flax textile–reinforced mortars (FTRM) as a retrofitting solution for unreinforced masonry. Six medium-scale walls were subjected to in-plane cyclic shear tests. Four of the ...
Effect of Beam Depth on Shear Behavior of FRP RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of shear critical fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) RC elements is characterized by the development of comparatively large strains and crack widths, which can be strongly influenced by their relative geometrical ...
Experimental Analysis of Shear Resisting Mechanisms in FRP RC Beams with Shear Reinforcement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Owing to the unique mechanical characteristics and lack of plasticity of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs), relatively large strains can develop in FRP reinforced concrete (RC) elements at ultimate limit states and this can ...
