Abstract: Experiments are conducted to study the behavior of base plates under the action of axial loads and moments by eccentric loading on the column. The parameters in the study are the thickness of the base plate and the ...

Abstract: The punching shear behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs was investigated in the present study. Each of 14 square slabs was simply supported along four edges and loaded to failure under a concentrated load over ...

Abstract: The results of punching shear tests on 31 square ferrocement slabs are reported in this paper. The slabs were simply supported on all four sides and tested under a central concentrated load. The parameters investigated ...

Abstract: Steel‐fiber concrete (SFC) demonstrates better deformational and cracking characteristics as compared to plain concrete and is used in structures where significant tensile stresses are encountered. Also, recent experimental ...

Abstract: An analytical model for the design of strain-hardening and multiple-cracking behavior of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) containing hybrid fibers is proposed. The model predicts first crack strength and ultimate ...

Abstract: Test data are presented on the shear strength of a series of longitudinally reinforced fibrous concrete beams in which the shear span‐to‐effective depth ratio, volume fraction of fibers, percentage of reinforcement, and ...

Abstract: An analytical and experimental investigation is carried out into the deformational behavior and strength of reinforced steel‐fiberconcrete (RSFC) beams in flexure. Explicit expressions are derived for the moment‐curvature

Abstract: This paper discusses some important engineering properties of plain concrete for a wide range of compressive strength. A large volume of selected experimental data has been collected from existing literature and then ...

Abstract: In this paper, two analytical approaches based on the effective modulus method (EMM) and the age‐adjusted effective modulus method (AEMM), are proposed for the prediction of deflections due to creep and shrinkage in ...

Abstract: A study was carried out to investigate the cyclic behavior of steel-fiber cement-mortar overlaid concrete beams at various stress levels. Two different volume fractions of steel fibers were selected for the present study. ...
