Abstract: This study reports the findings of an experimental investigation into the behavior of an inclined shear plane in reinforced concrete, such as a diagonal crack in the web of a beam, strengthened with externally bonded carbon ...

Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...

Abstract: Unanchored U-wrapped externally bonded carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics are widely used to increase the design shear strength of existing reinforced concrete slab-on-beam structures, but current design models ...

Abstract: This study applies a plastic approach to the analysis of shear at a joint or interface in reinforced concrete. Push-off tests have been used historically to investigate combinations of shear and compression across an ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was undertaken into the effectiveness of unanchored and anchored externally bonded (EB) U-wrapped carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) shear strengthening for reinforced concrete T-beams at ...
