Abstract: The distortional response and slip behavior of curved composite box girders were investigated. Three curved composite box girders with only end diaphragms were tested in order to provide additional information on the ...

Abstract: Most investigations dealing with research on shear focus on concrete members such as reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PC) beams, columns, and slabs. It is difficult for such investigations, which include ...

Abstract: This paper presents the negative bending of reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips. Six slab specimens, three of which are strengthened with ...
