An analysis of the Acoustic Emission (AE) activity and of the energy fields is carried out with
reference to three-point bending (TPB) tests on concrete beams with different sizes. First, a …

Abstract Design codes allow the moment redistribution in reinforced concrete (RC) beams
through the moment redistribution factor. The advantages of performing a moment …

Glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP)‐reinforced concrete (RC) can be defined as a
cementitious material in which the reinforcing secondary phase consists in corrosion …

A reasonable and efficient loading scheme is needed to guarantee the success of large-
scale bridge tests. In this study, an array-type, self-balancing pulley-group loading system …

Ten large reinforced ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beams were fabricated and
tested under drop-weight impacts. The test parameters included the potential energy, fiber …

One of the key applications of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) in structural engineering is to
provide confinement to the plastic hinge region of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns. Due …

Fiber‐reinforced concrete (FRC) has been proved to be a competitive solution for structural
purposes. Extensive research has highlighted the benefits of adding fibers on the post …

The structural behaviour of prestressed concrete beams is considerably affected by different
nonlinear phenomena occurring in post-cracking and crushing regimes, such as snap-back …

The results of a series of experimental bending tests carried out on reinforced concrete
members without transverse reinforcement are reported and illustrated as a contribution to …

This paper presents a numerical study on the plastic hinge behavior and rotation capacity of
concrete columns reinforced with a combination of steel bars and fiber-reinforced polymer …
