Shear strength of annealed wire fiber reinforced concrete coupling beam under cyclic loads

Shear Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Clayey Sands

Consolidated-drained triaxial compression tests were conducted to compare the stress-strain and volume change response of sands and clayey sands reinforced with discrete randomly distributed poly-propylene fibers. The influence of various test parameters such as fiber content (0.0%, 0.5% and 1.0% by weight), clay content (0%, 10% and 20% by weight), relative density (50% and 90%) and confining ...

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...

Hysteretic Behavior of Conventionally Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams in Reinforced Concrete Coupled Shear Wall

This paper presents the experimental results of four full-scale coupling beams in which only horizontal reinforcements are placed, without diagonal reinforcements, with the aim to develop reinforcement details for coupling beams used in connecting side walls in a wall-slab structural system. Each coupling beam specimen was designed according to the deep-beam design procedure that does not use d...

Damage Detection of Carbon Fiber-reinforced Concrete Under Bending Test

Shear strength model of reinforced concrete circular cross-section members

A shear capacity model of reinforced concrete members with circular cross section transversely reinforced with circular hoops has been developed. The proposed model is based on the truss analogy by adding a concrete contribution term to the capacity of the shear reinforcement. An additional deviatoric shear resisting th c curv pres nism ste ved und ctor mechanism of hoops present solely in memb...
