Abstract: A refined bending‐analysis model is presented that accurately predicts available experimental results. By means of this model, the relations of the ultimate‐to‐yielding moment ratio versus the longitudinal reinforcement ...

Abstract: The paper presents the analytical solution to the system of differential equations governing behavior of reinforcing‐bar anchorage under generalized excitations. The solution uses a bilinear model for steel and assumes a ...

Abstract: The collapse of reinforced concrete structural elements subjected to compression is linked to the instability of the reinforcement bars. This phenomenon may occur in the longitudinal region between two consecutive hoops, ...

Abstract: To fully implement seismic performance-based design for geotechnical structures, it is necessary to be able to correctly identify relevant earthquake records for the site in question in conjunction with advanced constitutive ...

Abstract: A new cracking theory is presented for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) members subjected to uniaxial tension. The theory is developed on the basis of the (actual) nonlinear bond stress‐slip relationship and of the ...

Abstract: For the calculation of the ultimate strain of compressed concrete elements, a procedure is proposed that is based on the limit stability condition of longitudinal reinforcing bars. The analysis model is the one proposed ...

Abstract: Partial-duration maximum precipitation series from Historical Climatology Network stations are used as a basis for assessing trends in extreme-precipitation recurrence-interval amounts. Two types of time series are analyzed: ...
