Developing design models that are accurate compared to experimentally measured
strength, yet physically sound, continues to be the ultimate research goal. For this purpose …

Although a well established comprehension of the torsional design is a must for an accurate
and economic design of concrete members, however, after 180 years of research very little …

The shear behavior of prestressed concrete (PC) beams is a complex problem because
there are many influential parameters involved. Currently, the code-based shear strength of …

Punching shear failure of concrete slabs is brittle with very little warning, whether with or
without membrane tensile forces. Tensile forces decrease the punching shear strength …

Prestressed concrete (PC) is increasingly used in civil engineering construction. Notably,
research on shear resistance in PC beams with short shear span remains relatively limited …

Four large-scale post-tensioned I-beam specimens were fabricated using high-strength self-
consolidating concrete (SCC) and tested under realistic distributed loads. The shear …

The shear behavior of Prestressed Concrete (PC) beams is a complex problem since there
are many parameters involved. Currently, design codes define the shear strength of PC …

Various national codes of practice play a crucial role in the development of the country's
infrastructure and should be developed based on principles of mechanics and experimental …
