Abstract: This paper demonstrates that the two so-called “conceptual errors” which are claimed to exist in the modified compression field theory are actually conceptual errors about the modified compression field theory.

Abstract: Cracked reinforced concrete in compression has been observed to exhibit lower strength and stiffness than uniaxially compressed concrete. The so‐called compression softening effect responsible is thought to be related to ...

Abstract: Integral abutment bridges are becoming more popular in Europe, but the traditions differ from country to country. This leads to different technical solutions for the same problem in each country. A European survey was ...

Abstract: Application practices of bituminous hot-poured crack sealants, typically used to effect repairs on pavements, were monitored in the field and heating conditions were reproduced in the laboratory. From viscometry, ...

Abstract: Increasing interest in the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement for reinforced concrete structures has made it clear that insufficient information about the shear performance of such members is currently ...

Abstract: Sectional shear models for slender reinforced concrete members developed by several research groups differ in the treatment of longitudinal reinforcement details when evaluating one-way shear capacity. Some models relate ...

Abstract: For members with no transverse reinforcement, numerous models have been proposed for determining shear capacity, most often based on a statistical curve fit to experimental beam test results. The shear provisions of the ...
