Shear Peeling of Steel Plates Bonded to Tension Faces of RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The technique of adhesively bonding steel or fiber-reinforced plastic plates to the surfaces of reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements is being adopted worldwide to strengthen or repair reinforced concrete buildings ...
Upgrading Continuous Reinforced Concrete Beams by Gluing Steel Plates to Their Tension Faces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is now fairly common practice to glue steel plates to the tension faces of existing reinforced concrete slabs, as it is an inexpensive and unobtrusive upgrading procedure for strengthening and stiffening. However, the ...
Simulation of Plastic Hinges in FRP-Plated RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structural engineers inherently rely on the ductility of a member to absorb energy, give prior warning of failure, control the drift of columns, and redistribute moments in beams. However, quantifying the ductility of ...
Shear Transfer across Cracks in FRP Strengthened RC Members
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The shear capacity of unplated reinforced concrete (RC) beams depends on the transverse shear to form the critical diagonal crack (CDC) as well as the transverse shear capacity across the CDC. The latter depends on the ...
Experimental and Analytical Study of Ultrahigh-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Curved Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents experimental and analytical investigations on the structural behavior of horizontally curved ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams subjected to concentrated loads applied normal ...
ECO-UHPC with High-Volume Class-F Fly Ash: New Insight into Mechanical and Durability Properties
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), despite its superior mechanical and durability properties, has a high CO2 footprint owing to its high portland cement content. This drawback can be offset to a notable extent if a ...
Bond Slip Models for Uncorroded and Corroded Steel Reinforcement in Class-F Fly Ash Geopolymer Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Short-Term Partial-Interaction Behavior of RC Beams with Prestressed FRP and Steel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The deformation of a prestressed concrete (PC) member is controlled by the variation in flexural rigidity (EI) both along the length of the member and with applied loads. Typically, the moment-curvature
FRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams: Unified Approach Based on IC Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In general, steel-reinforced concrete involves a ductile steel material and a very strong and ductile bond between the steel reinforcement and concrete, so that debonding rarely governs the design. In contrast, fiber-reinforced ...
