The shear resisting mechanisms of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with longitudinal and transverse FRP reinforcement can be affected by the mechanical properties of the FRP rebars. This paper presents a mechanical model for ...

Shear strains can become significant in the response of RC beams, especially in the case with longitudinal FRP reinforcement. The effect of the shear strains is studied in this paper through the numerical results of a 1D ...

A conceptual model for the prediction of the shear-flexural strength of slender reinforced concrete beams with and without transverse reinforcement is presented. The model incorporates the shear transferred by the un-cracked ...

To evaluate how the size effect affects the stresses developed along the compression chord in a beams subjected to shear forces, a simplified experimental program was developed on 50 prismatic specimens subjected to a ...

This  paper  aims  to  introduce  the  content  of  Annex  J  “Strengthening  of  Existing  Concrete  Structures with CFRP” of Eurocode 2 [1]. This is first time that the design of adhesively bonded reinforcement  with  ...

A simplified mechanical model is presented for the shear strength prediction of reinforced and prestressed concrete members with and without transverse reinforcement, with I, T or rectangular cross-section. The model, ...

RC slabs can be subjected simultaneously to transverse loads and in-plane tensile forces, as it happens in top slabs of continuous box girder bridges decks, in the regions of negative moments, or in flat slabs subjected ...

Se presenta un modelo mecánico para la predicción de la resistencia a cortante-flexión de vigas esbeltas de hormigón armado sometidas a cargas puntuales y/o repartidas. El modelo incorpora las contribuciones a la resistencia ...
