Shear Behavior of Thick Slabs
Author(s) Michael P. Collins, Phillip T. Quach, and Evan C. Bentz Abstract Thick reinforced concrete members not containing shear reinforcement can fail at shear stresses significantly lower than those specified by the 2014 ACI Code. This is because the...
Reliability Analysis of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Shear-Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Beams Subjected to Deterioration
Author(s) Amirmasoud Taki, Afshin Firouzi, and Saeed Mohammadzadeh Abstract A time-dependent reliability analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) beams shear-strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets is conducted. Environmental effects are...
Thermomechanical-Coupled Distress for Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Carbon Fiber- Reinforced Polymer
Author(s) ail J. Kim and Ibrahim Bumadian Abstract This paper presents detrimental synergies resulting from mechanical distress coupled with elevated temperatures on the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)...
Title: Study of Failure Mode of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs with Openings and Studs
Author(s M. G. Marques, E. A. P. Liberati, R. B. Gomes, L. C. Almeida, and L. M. Trautwein Abstract This work presents an experimental investigation on the behavior of nine reinforced concrete flat slabs with dimensions of 1800 x 1800 x 130 mm. The slabs were divided...
Cyclic Response of Reinforced Concrete Squat Walls to Boundary Element Arrangement
Authors s): Min-Yuan Cheng, Yen Chou, and Leonardus S. B. Wibowo Abstract An experimental program consisting of four specimens was conducted to evaluate effects of different arrangements of boundary elements on cyclic responses of reinforced concrete (RC) squat walls...
Experimental Evaluation and Modeling of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Columns
Author(s Hakan Yalciner and Atila Kumbasarogl Abstract A total of 30 full-scale reinforced concrete (RC) columns were tested to develop models for the prediction of the structural behavior of corroded RC columns. Of these, 25 RC columns were tested under cyclic...
Prediction of Shear Strength Parameters in Soil–lime Mixture Design – part 2: Hydrated Lime
Authors Evelina Fratalocchi, PhD Marta Di Sante, PhD Francesco Mazzieri, PhD Erio Pasqualini, MSE Abstract In the field of lime stabilisation of soil, one of the main research objectives is optimisation of the mix design procedure. To this aim, correlations...
Continuous Compaction Control in the UK: History, Ccurrent State and Future Prognosis
Authors Mike G. Winter, BSc, PhD, CGeol, CEng, FICE, FGS, EurGeol, EurIng Abstract The UK Specification for Highway Works currently makes no specific provision for the use of continuous compaction control (CCC) in the construction of earthworks for roads and...
Socio-technical Transitions in UK Electricity: Part 2 – Technologies and Sustainability
Authors Timothy J. Foxon Geoffrey P. Hammond Peter J. G. Pearson Abstract A large interdisciplinary consortium of engineers, social scientists and policy analysts has developed three low-emissions, more-electric transition pathways for the UK. The approach is...
