Limiting Reinforcement Ratios for Hybrid GFRP/Steel Reinforced Concrete Beams

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...

Reliability evaluation of reinforced concrete beams

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the time-invariant reliability of reinforced concrete beams designed under the provisions of the ACI Building Code. A wide range of practical design situations is considered. The beams are subjected to bending, shear, and torsion. The interaction between shear and torsion is considered via an elliptical failure surface defined in the shear-torsion stress...

Influence of shear reinforcement corrosion on the performance of under-reinforced concrete beams

Reinforced concrete beams are normally designed as under-reinforced to provide ductile behaviour at failure i.e. the tensile moment of resistance, Mt(0), is less than the moment of resistance of the compressive zone, Mc. Since it is well established that the steel in reinforced concrete beams is prone to corrosion, the residual flexural strength is normally the main concern of asset managers. H...
