In this study, the neural network model for predicting shear capacity of reinforced concrete
(RC) beams without shear reinforcements is developed. Several explanatory variables …

Concrete cover separation (CCS) is frequently happened prior to the yielding of steel
stirrups in FRP-strengthened RC beams. However, the debonding mechanism and criterion …

In nuclear buildings, situations such as localized heavy loads from equipment, slabs loaded
by walls or columns are commonly found. For constructability and cost-effectiveness …

The shear strengthening technique investigated in this paper consists of inserting steel
reinforcing bars into holes drilled into a shear-deficient existing concrete member and …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a unique type of concrete that has a lot of
advantages in the construction sector. There is no risk for reinforced UHPC elements in an …

This paper examines the full deformational response of prestressed wide beams. The results
from full-scale prestressed wide beam tests are used to validate the nonlinear numerical …

The shear design of concrete slabs is still an unsolved problem. The following study
presents experimental and numerical investigations on the shear behaviour of reinforced …

Wide beams are commonly used in reinforced concrete (RC) structures for architectural
considerations such as facilitating the placement of services and providing adequate clear …

Abstract The Australian Concrete Code (AS 3600) went through a number of significant
changes to the shear provisions in the last decade through the introduction of the modified …

This paper describes an experimental investigation on the use of high-strength steel and
high-strength concrete to reduce the required reinforcement areas in nuclear shear walls …
