Abstract: The implications that bar softening has on the design of anchorages in earthquake‐resistant concrete structures are considered. A relatively simple one‐dimensional finite‐element formulation is developed to model the ...

Abstract: Flow measurement (both temporary and continuous) in rectangular irrigation channels, sewers or drains, can easily be carried out quickly using measuring flumes. This study presents a particular kind of measuring flume, ...

Abstract: Tests of anchorages long enough to develop postyield steel strain under monotonic loading are presented. The influence of varied postyield properties of steel on load‐slip response is considered. The sensitivity of anchorage ...

Abstract: Although the concept of repairing and strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structures using steel plate reinforcement has been established for more than 30 years, today there is an increasing trend toward the use of ...

Abstract: The performance of conventionally reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (EB-FRP) was studied by compiling and analyzing an experimental database. A total ...

Abstract: Corrosion of reinforcement in bridge piers is encouraged by chloride contamination from exposure to marine environment and from deicing salts used in bridges during winter. Because corrosion products generally occupy greater ...
