Abstract: A two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear numerical analysis code by using the rigid body spring method (RBSM) was developed by the writers at Hokkaido University to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members ...

Abstract: This study focuses on the assessment of the structural reliability of the punching shear limit state in five distinct configurations of glass fiber–reinforced polymers (GFRP)–RC slab-column connections, illustrating their ...
