1. Optimized design of RC deep beams based on performance metrics applied to strut and tie model and in-plane stress conditions
Abstract Deep beams do not behave according to classical beam theory. The nonlinearity of strain distribution within these elements requires application of strut and tie models (STM) or other alternatives to evaluate the complex stress field. Although the design of these elements is a common task for structural engineers, limited research is found on assessi

2. Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Sheets with Grooves
Abstract The most common method used to strengthening, rehabilitation or repairing of reinforced concrete (RC) members is to use external carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. CFRP can greatly improve the flexural and shear capacity of deteriorated members and therefore extends their useful life. The main problem of external CFRP is the debonding of

3. Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Inverted Knee Joint Behaviour after Ground Corner Column Loss-Numerical Analysis
Abstract Beam-column joints are critical component in the load path of reinforced concrete (RC) frames, due to their role in transferring loads among different RC frame components. The loss of a ground corner column in a RC frame turns an exterior joint into an inverted knee joint and recent code provisions for exterior joints are not sufficient to knee join

4. Structural Behavior of RC Beams Containing a Pre- Diagonal Tension Crack
Abstract This study focuses the light on the shear behavior of pre-cracked beams, and examines the feasibility of applying fracture mechanics concepts to widen the understanding of shear behavior and mechanisms. The experimental program contains ten beam specimens of high strength concrete (HSC) and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Pre-cracks were emb

5. Non-Linear Three Dimensional Finite Elements for Composite Concrete Structures
Abstract The current investigation focused on the development of effective and suitable modelling of reinforced concrete component with and without strengthening. The modelling includes physical and constitutive models. New interface elements have been developed, while modified constitutive law have been applied and new computational algorithm is utilised. T

6. Structural Behavior of SFRC Beams strengthened with GFRP Laminates: An Experimental and Analytical Investigation
ABSTRACT This paper presents the experimental results of a reinforced concrete beams (RC) strengthened with internal steel fibers (SF) and external glass fiber reinforced polymer laminates (GFRP). The research work studied the load carrying capacity, deformation, crack width and ductility of the reinforced concrete beams strengthened with different steel fib

7. Ductility Analysis of RC Beams Considering the Concrete Confinement Effect Produced by the Shear Reinforcement: a Numerical Approach
Abstract In this paper, a simplified numerical approach to study the influence of the confinement effect provided by transversal reinforcement on the ductility behavior of RC beams in bending is proposed. A unidimensional FEM mechanical model coupled to the Mazars’ damage model to simulate concrete behavior was adopted to assess ductility curvatures at the

8. One-Way Shear Resistance of RC Members with Unconnected Stirrups
Abstract This paper presents results of eight experimental tests carried to evaluate the mechanical performance of unconnected "W" stirrups. Reinforced concrete wide beams were tested and their characteristics were idealized to represent column strips in flat slab buildings. The main variables were: the type of shear reinforcement; the shear span to effectiv

9. Flexural Behavior of Beams Reinforced with Steel Bars Exceeding the Nominal Yield Strength
Abstract If steel manufactures usually comply with the minimum code specifications, the nominal yield strength of rebar can however be significantly exceeded in many countries, depending on the steel manufacturing processes. Such an increase in yield strength can have negative effects on the flexural behavior of beams designed as tension controlled, and redu

10. Stochastic Analysis of Flexural Strength of RC Beams Subjected to Chloride Induced Corrosion
Importance of consideration of chloride induced corrosion in service life design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures situated in marine environment is well known. This paper attempts to provide, within the framework of Monte Carlo Simulation, methodologies for durability based service life design of RC members. A methodology using fragility curves is prop

11. Seismic performance of ductility classes medium RC beam-column connections with continuous rectangular spiral transverse reinforcements
The seismic performance of RC columns can considerably be improved through the use of continuous spiral reinforcement in terms of ductility and energy dissipation capacity. Since the beam-column connections were subjected to brittle failure after earthquakes, the simultaneous application of this method in both beams and columns could greatly improve the seis

12. Shear Strengthening of RC Deep Beams with Sprayed Fiber-reinforced Polymer Composites (SFRP): Part 2 Finite Element Analysis
AbstractThis paper presents the finite element analysis conducted on SFRP strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams. The analysis variables included SFRP material (glass and carbon), SFRP thickness (3 mm and 5 mm), SFRP configuration and strength of concrete. The externally applied SFRP technique is significantly effective to enhance the ultimate load
