FLEXURAL AND SHEAR BEHAVIOR OF PRECAST PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAM WITH HIGH STRENGTH SHEAR REINFORCEMENT

Experimental Study on Flexural Behavior of Precast Concrete Shear Walls with Vertical Joint

Flexural Performance of High-strength Prestressed Concrete-encased Concrete-filled Steel Tube Sections

The sections composed of concrete and steel, which include concrete-encased concrete-filled tubes, generally have defects due to the low tensile strength of concrete. Therefore, an appropriate method was used for the combination of concrete-filled tubes (CFT) and prestressing strands which is encased in concrete. The conventional design guidelines are commonly developed for materials with norma...

Forecasting of Shear Strength of Concrete Beam Reinforced with FRP Bar

This study develops a new approach for forecasting shear Strength of concrete beam without stirrups based on the artificial neural networks (ANN). Proposed ANN considers geometric and mechanical properties of cross section and FRP bars, and shear span-depth ratio. The ANN model is constructed from a set of experimental database available in the past literature. Efficiency of the ANN model was c...

the flexural strength and flexural - shear void concrete slabs with cfrp and gfrp and steel sheets

a large number of bridges and buildings that are currently used, are made of slabs with opening. some of these buildings and bridges have been severely damaged because of natural disasters such as earthquake, storm and other effects such as materials fatigue and alkaline and corrosive agents. therefore, retrofitting and strengthening of these structures is essential and affordable. in this rese...

Shear Strength of Slender Reinforced Concrete Beams without Web Reinforcement

This paper attempt to predict the shear strength of high strength concrete beam with different shear span of depth ratio without web reinforcement. The large data base available has been clustered and a linear equation analysis has been performed . The prepared models are functions of compressive strength , percentage of flexural reinforcement and depth of beam. The proposed models have been va...
