The strength and serviceability calculations described above and in my previous article are used to determine the cross-sectional areas and bar sizes of the tension- (main) and shear-reinforcing bars ...

The objective of this text is to present one of the methods of pre-dimensioning slabs, beams, and pillars of buildings built with reinforced concrete. There are several other methods, but this is ...

Insufficient analysis of load capacity results in costly over-engineering or catastrophic structural failures - but many ...

To conduct this test, the complete pre-crack and post-crack response of a 6-inch x 6-inch x 20-inch fiber-reinforced concrete beam is recorded. For the design of slabs-on-ground with fiber ...

During past two decades, much research has been carried out on shear and flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams using different types of fibre reinforced polymers and adhesives.
