In civil engineering, the analysis and characterisation of structural phenomena is key for the
deviation of mechanical models and strongly depends on experimental studies. For this …

An increase in the use of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and discrete fibers in
reinforced concrete structures, associated with the limited understanding of the shear …

In spite of an extensive research in the past few decades, design of beams without shear
reinforcement is still considered to be a challenging task. With the goal of develo** …

Different shear-transfer actions on concrete beams have been well-studied in many
research works to understand the mechanical behavior of RC beams failing in shear. In this …

Civil engineering structures are exposed to complex loading scenarios leading to multiaxial
fracture and activation of stress transfer mechanisms along cracks controlled by combined …

This paper presents an evaluation of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams
without transverse reinforcement by comparing the theoretical background with the …

Abstract Das Querkrafttragverhalten von Bauteilen ohne Querkraftbewehrung ist seit über
100 Jahren ein fester Bestandteil der Forschung im Massivbau. In den letzten Jahren sind …

Featured Application The presented research supports the application of semi-precast slabs
with lattice girders in industrial buildings and bridge structures exposed to cyclic loading …

Making physical sense of the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) elements remains
an open challenge and an ongoing investigation that often leads to upgrades of design …

Modeling and assessing the load‐carrying capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) structures
that are cracked is important because the condition of an RC structure changes due to …
