The goal of this study is to experimentally and analytically evaluate the influence of circular
openings in reinforced concrete deep beams with low shear span-to-depth ratio. Twenty …

Existing studies have shown that the interface friction force positively affects and improves
the shear behavior at the stud-connected steel–ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) …

Due to the excellent mechanical properties of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC), the
shear strength of stud–UHPC composite connections is significantly enhanced …

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer, CFRP, has emerged an appealing solution for the
rehabilitation and strengthening of structures. Numerous studies have been done to …

In this study, a strut-and-tie model (STM) for predicting the shear strength of reinforced
concrete deep beams and corbels was proposed. The model was derived on the basis of …

Anchorage zones of posttensioned structures are prone to splitting cracks, necessitating
rational reinforcement design methods for anticracking in such regions. This paper presents …

The post-tensioned anchorage zones are generally subdivided into local and general
zones, which are treated with semi-empirical approaches and strut-and-tie models …

The strut-and-tie model (STM) has been adopted as a preferred methodology for the design
of the post tensioned concentric anchorage zones. However, the STM is just a design model …

At present, the majority of published literature claims that the compressive unit strength of a
plain concrete strut loaded over its full cross section is greater than the unit strength of the …

In the post‐tensioned anchorage zone, the load transfer path of an anchor force can be
visualized by an infinite number of isostatic lines of compression (ILCs). The method was …
