Abstract: This paper describes a study in which finite-element (FE) analysis procedures were used to predict the behavior of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame shear strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Details ...

Abstract: Stress-strain relationship for a steel bar embedded in concrete differs somewhat to that of a bare steel bar because the surrounding concrete is bonded to the bar. This behavior is known as tension stiffening. This paper ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a solution methodology for the application of the fixed-angle theory to predict the shear response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams subjected to the combined actions of shear and flexure. The proposed ...

Abstract: A method for estimating the total freeboard

Abstract: Due to the similar design process for shear and torsion in RC members, the code limits on maximum yield strength for both shear and torsion are the same. However, the limiting values differ among different codes. For ...
