Abstract: A new approach is taken to predict numerically the bond‐slip behavior of a reinforcing bar embedded in concrete. Attention is focused on radial, secondary cracking. This cracking is found not to follow the principles of ...

Abstract: This paper reports about a real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) of a nonductile reinforced concrete frame that had previously been tested on a shake table (ST) at the University of California, Berkeley. This three-story, ...

Abstract: The failure mechanisms of reinforced concrete (RC) members change due to the application of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcement. Although an extensive literature is available describing the failure ...
