Abstract: Abstract Glued-in rods are commonly used to strengthen or connect timber elements. To date, there has been relatively little testing to quantify the pullout capacity of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in timber. This ...

Abstract: Shear friction (SF) theory governs the relationship between the stresses and displacements that occur due to sliding along a concrete-to-concrete interface subjected to varying degrees of lateral confinement. This theory ...

Abstract: The tension-stiffening behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete is of fundamental importance for the characterization of crack widths and spacings as well as determination of the tensile response of fiber-reinforced concrete ...

Abstract: This paper describes experimental and analytical investigations on a highly durable composite structural system comprising polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber-reinforced concrete (PVA-FRC) reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced ...

Abstract: AbstractAs a result of the complex and catastrophic nature of punching shear failure, research to predict punching shear capacity in reinforced concrete slabs is nearly as old as the material itself. This paper collates ...
