The new version of Eurocode 2 will include for the first time an informative annex, Annex R “Embedded FRP reinforcement”, to design reinforced concrete structures with fibre polymer (FRP) reinforcement. embedded reinforcement has some advantages such as their low susceptibility corrosion, high‐strength, and life‐cycle cost. rebars can be used longitudinal or transverse in a similar way than con...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of shear resistance in the interface between two concrete parts composite beam. The construction joint was performed as indented one accordance with Eurocode 2 and fib Model Code 2010. numerical calculation results were confronted actual tests beam subjected to 4-point bending. displacement values tested element obtained using dial sensors digital imag...

In Europe, Eurocodes are the set of standards for structural design, integrating all specific National experiences and research outputs. However, about ten years have elapsed since the official issue of these codes. Within this last decade, European codes for structural design have been extensively used by designers and practitioners, thus showing the lacks and fallacies in the application of s...
