In this study, we show a wireless passive sensing system embedded in a reinforced concrete member successfully being employed for the measurement of relative displacement and strain in a simply supported beam experiment. The system utilizes electromagnetic coupling between the transceiver antenna located outside the beam, and the sensing probes placed on the reinforcing bar (rebar) surface insi...

Seismic pressures on a reinforced concrete moment-resisting structure are known to create critical and essential regions at the beam-column joints. Beam-column junctions microcosm of whole structure, therefore brittle behavior these points predicts action. Ductile joints ductile Under influence seismic forces, between RC beams columns exposed high shear stresses. Learn more about performance fi...

The addition of steel fibers into concrete improves the postcracking tensile strength of hardened concrete and hence significantly enhances the shear strength of reinforced concrete reinforced concrete beams. However, developing an accurate model for predicting the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams is a challenging task as there are several parameters such as the co...
