Abstract: The ultimate behavior and bearing capacity of undercut fasteners installed in heat-damaged concrete are investigated in this paper in which the results of a rather comprehensive research project are presented. Sixty-one ...

Abstract: The crack band model is applied to the problem of crack shear in concrete. The constitutive law for concrete within the crack band is provided by the microplane model, in which the microstrains on weak planes of various ...

Abstract: A model developed for the study of the individual contributions to shear capacity in reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PC) thin-webbed beams is improved here by introducing dowel action, nonuniform ...

Abstract: High-strength concretes containing siliceous aggregates are very sensitive to high temperatures, as shown by the marked decrease of their mechanical properties both at high temperatures and after cooling down to room ...

Abstract: The aggregate interlock mechanism gives a substantial contribution to the shear resistance of reinforced or prestressed concrete thin‐webbed beams, which are characterized by mostly linear, closely spaced, thin diagonal ...

Abstract: The resistant mechanisms of reinforced and prestressed thin‐webbed beams failing in shear are effective on the condition that the web reinforcement and thickness are suitably designed. With regard to this, a rational model ...
