Abstract: The demand for sustainable future infrastructures calls for new and innovative alternatives to avoid the problems associated with the conventional methods of construction. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have superior ...

Abstract: In several cases of loading and geometrical configurations, flexure beams, and girders are subjected to combined shear and torsion. Failure of a structural element under combined shear and torsion is brittle in nature. ...

Abstract: Torsion failure is an undesirable brittle form of failure. Although previous experimental studies have shown that using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets for torsion strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is ...

Abstract: An international committee on shear and torsion reported that giving physical significance for the torsion design is an upcoming challenge. The purpose of this paper is to propose a reasonably accurate and relatively simple ...
