Abstract: This paper deals with the punching shear resistance of flat slabs reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars. A total of six large-scale interior GFRP and steel reinforced slab-column connections ...

Abstract: The paper deals with the punching shear behavior and the capacity of interior steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) slab-column connections. In the experimental study, the effect of the amount of fibers on the punching ...

Abstract: The corrosion of steel stirrups in RC beams reduces their shear capacity and bond strength with concrete and facilitates premature debonding of the concrete cover, thus affecting the strengthening effectiveness of ...

Abstract: Studies on unbonded post-tensioned concrete (UPC) beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets are limited and existing studies focus on monotonic loading; in particular, there are no studies on flexural ...
