Abstract: A shear panel model capable of simulating the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) panels under membrane‐type loading is developed. The shear panel model is then incorporated into a macroscopic wall‐member model ...

Abstract: Bonding by epoxy resins of metallic or nonmetallic plates to the tension face of a reinforced concrete (RC) member (i.e., plate bonding technology) is now a widely used technique to retrofit/upgrade existing RC structures ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model, based on truss analogy, to analyze the structural behavior at failure of reinforced concrete beams with steel plates or fiber-reinforced polymer lamitates bonded to their tension ...
