In the present study, a novel cracking strut-and-tie model (CSTM) is developed to better
predict the shear strength of a deep beam. The principal concept of strut-and-tie model …

This study focuses on the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) simple and continuous
deep beams. The experimental phenomena and nonlinear finite element analyses showed …

In existing shear test databases of reinforced concrete D-regions (discontinuity or
disturbance regions), most data points are concentrated in parameter ranges of high main …

The main failure pattern for reinforced concrete deep beams is shear failure due to the low
shear-span ratio. The Topology Optimization for the stress of rebar in this study is explored …

Based on experimental results including the crack pattern and maximum applied strut stress,
as well as on stress states obtained using a nonlinear finite-element analysis, it is identified …

Na análise e dimensionamento de estruturas de concreto armado, a hipótese de que
seções planas permanecem planas após a ocorrência de flexão no elemento se caracteriza …
