in reinforced concrete design, there are situations where transfer of shear across a specific plane needs to be considered. examples of such situation include corbels, bearing shoes, ledger beam bearing, and a host of connection between precast concrete elements. in this study, the shear transfer behavior of reinforced concrete is investigated experimentally by conducting test on 6 precracked p...

high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composite (hpfrcc) materials exhibit strain hardening behavior with multiple cracking under tensile loading. in this paper, experimental and parametric studies are performed to assess the influence of using hpfrcc material instead of normal concrete in reinforced concrete beams. after calibrating the experimental results, the analytical results inc...

frps (fiber reinforced polymer) possess many favorable characteristics suitable and applicable for construction industry when compared with steel reinforcement. there are new ideas to use frps as longitudinal or transverse reinforcement for new concrete elements particularly for bridge decks or beams. although high tensile strength of frp is main characteristic for applications at both areas, i...

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...

Due to the high demand for technical inspection services buildings and structures, new equipment designed use in certain conditions appears on market. On this basis, article is devoted analysis of existing devices structures. The was carried out during survey 8 facilities Novozhambyl phosphorus plant Taraz city. In non-destructive method strength measurement were used. Based results obtained te...

Abstract: High-strength steel has increasingly become widely used among various engineering practices, but the relevant provisions of the codes lag behind its development. Six sets of experiments on simple supported beams reinforced with HTB600 and HTB700 rebars subject to bending loading were conducted in this study to 1) investigate the conditions of crack development, 2) contrast the calcula...

This paper describes a review of the potential use of High Strength Incorporating Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete used in construction industry to improve the structural strength and reduce steel reinforcements requirements. Blast furnace slag (GGBS) has been used as a supplementary material along with the cement. It helps in increasing the durability an...

With steadily rising CO2 concentrations in the ambient air and fast-changing concrete compositions with reduced clinker contents, availability of reliable accelerated carbonation tests is crucial importance to design durable structures. This paper focuses on effects moisture under conditions different exposure conditions. Mortar prisms incorporating three cement types were cured stored at eithe...
