Abstract: The use of a shore-based pseudolite to augment DGPS for on-the-fly (OTF) carrier phase ambiguity resolution in the marine environment is investigated. OTF ambiguity resolution results in cm-level tridimensional accuracies. ...

Abstract: A new solution procedure is presented, based on the arc‐length method, for passing limit points (load or displacement peaks) in nonlinear finite element analysis of structures. In addition to the usual equilibrium equations, ...

Abstract: An upper-bound analysis of reinforced-concrete continuous deep beams is presented. The concrete is assumed as a rigid–perfectly plastic material obeying the modified Coulomb failure criteria with zero tension cutoff. Two ...

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: 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 ...
