This work proposed reinforced concrete two-span continuous deep beams by replacing the
well-known conventional reinforcement by reinforcing struts and ties only and omitting the …

In existing shear test databases of reinforced concrete D-regions (discontinuity or
disturbance regions), most data points are concentrated in parameter ranges of high main …

The paper presents the results of experimental research into the use of post‐installed
threaded rods as additional reinforcement. An increase in load‐carrying capacity of up to …

The load and deflection response of six concrete deep beams longitudinally reinforced with
glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars having shear span to depth ratio of 0.5 to 1.0 …

This article presents an experimental investigation on 11 reinforced concrete (RC) deep
beams without web reinforcement. Shear span-depth ratio (a/d), beam depth, and …

There has been some recent debate about the actual behavior and performance of some
components of strut-and-tie models, specifically struts. This research aims to shed additional …

In this paper, an empirical model for a strut efficiency factor (β s) is proposed and introduced
in to the softened strut and tie model to predict the ultimate shear strength and the …

Post-installed reinforcement (PIR) bars helps to facilitate retrofitting works, mitigate
misplaced reinforcement problems, as well as support newly casted additions. However, the …

The strut-and-tie approach has gained importance in reinforced concrete design practice in
the United States in the last two decades. This method has proven suitable for designing …

ABSTRACT A special class of reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall is identified with short
shear span, attributed to the high coupling degree in the elastic design of tall buildings …
