This paper investigates inspection of reinforced concrete elements sensitive to the splitting
failure. The behaviour of a reinforced concrete specimen subjected to a tensile stress is …

This paper presents the results of an experimental research program addressing the bond
behavior of prestressing strands in pretensioned prestressed concrete members after …

This article explores the capability of the Cohesive Zone Model in predicting the critical load
of blunt notched specimens made of coarse‐grained polycrystalline graphite, a brittle …

In this paper a robust model has been developed to predict the average bond stress-slip
relationship between the strands and concrete of prestressed concrete structural members …

This manuscript attempts to classify typical errors occurring during the design, production,
and use of prefabricated and prestressed concrete girders and slabs manufactured in …

The paper addresses numerical simulations of a concrete vehicle restraint system. The
model is described in detail. The advanced material law of the continuous surface cap …

A quantification method of the non-uniform mechanical interlock and rotation is proposed for
modelling the bond-slip behavior between steel strand and concrete. The bond stress …

An innovative strategy for the analysis and design of the anchorage zones of pre-tensioned,
concrete girders is presented. In this approach, the bond behaviour of the prestress strands …

Precast hollow core slabs (HCS) are technically advanced products in the precast concrete
industry, widely used in the last years due to their versatility, their multipurpose potential and …

This paper presents an analytical model for simulating the bond between steel and concrete,
in precast prestressed concrete elements, during the prestressing force release. The model …
