Abstract: A numerical model that uses a nonlinear cracked hinge was developed to characterize the flexural behavior of a beam element composed of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HyFRC). Deflection hardening performance criteria ...

Abstract: This paper presents the shake-table tests of a damage-resistant posttensioned bridge column designed to rock at the interface with its foundation. It compares the response to that of a conventional bridge column detailed ...

Abstract: A singular hybrid finite element with seven nodes and triangular shape is used to determine the stress intensity factors for the splitting tension test. For different types of marble the finite-element simulations were ...

Abstract: The experimental seismic response of two bridge columns built using highly flowable hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete under unidirectional static cyclic lateral loading is presented. The objective was to design bridge columns ...

Abstract: To address the sustainability challenges faced by concrete structures, various attempts have been made to optimize the reinforcement layout with a topologically optimized strut-and-tie model (STM). However, most studies ...
