One of the barriers to implementation steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) into structural applications is lack understanding shear behaviour SFRC members. This paper proposes a theoretical model for capacity members with mild reinforcement based on shear-carrying mechanisms and sectional analysis. The derived completely theoretically, concepts from literature, does not include new empirical ...

Bamboo oriented strand boards (BOSB) are very suitable for application in construction structures because of their excellent mechanical properties. This research investigated the shear performance bamboo I-beams composed BOSB to verify structural I-beams. Short beam tests and uniform vertical load capacity were performed investigate effects various factors on properties The results showed that ...

Some explicit analytical expressions of the dynamic shear load-carrying capacity for brittle materials under a quadratic waveform loading are presented on basis incubation time fracture criterion, by which can be determined from quasi-static material parameters, and stress wave conditions (loading amplitude, duration, waveform). The numerical results in good agreement with previous experimental...

Building fire is one of the most frequent disasters. The mechanical properties concrete and steel will deteriorate to different degrees under exposure, thus weakening bearing capacity reinforced (RC) members. Therefore, it great theoretical practical significance carry out research on RC members subjected fire. To study residual shear post-fire beams indirect loading, static load tests were car...
