Strut-and-tie model (STM), with its truss analogy, is yet a powerful tool for analyzing and
designing complex prestressed and reinforced concrete structures. Which represents a …

The composite action of the reinforcing bars in the UHPC involves complex and nonlinear
mechanisms. Inadequate knowledge of their interaction may lead to insufficient bond …

Several stress-strain models were used to predict the strengths of steel fiber reinforced
concrete, which are distinctive of the material. However, insufficient research has been done …

Openings in composite beams can be used to install ducts and utility pipes without
increasing the story height. The shear strength of the composite beams is decreased as a …

Cost and duration estimation is essential for the success of construction projects. The
importance of decision making in cost and duration estimation for building design processes …

Mineral-impregnated carbon fibre (MCF) is a new type of reinforcement that has superior
mechanical properties at elevated temperatures to conventional polymer-impregnated …

Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is one of the critical factors that affect the determination of
earthquake intensity. PGA is generally utilized to describe ground motion in a particular …

This paper investigates experimentally and analytically the effectiveness of adopted
schemes for strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) and fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) …

Shear failure is an undesirable type of failure in terms of structural safety. Particularly,
reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams without shear reinforcement are vulnurable to shear …
