The primary seismic force-resisting system (SFRS) in middle-to high-rise reinforced concrete
(RC) building structures often includes coupled shear walls (CSWs) and single shear walls …

Surface crack patterns have been considered to determine the shear failure behavior of RC
beams but the effect of three-dimensional crack propagation on shear crack development …

Predicting the shear resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with
externally bonded reinforcement using carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials …

This study investigates the effectiveness of a hybrid solution that combines carbon fiber-
reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems for the flexural and shear strengthening of T-cross …

In this study, hybrid nonlinear finite element models (FEM) were developed to examine the
flexural performance and the ultimate load capacity of bonded and unbonded two-way …

The use of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) for the repair and rehabilitation of
reinforced concrete (RC) structures has been receiving a lot of attention. Specifically, the …

This article presents the results of numerical simulations performed using ABAQUS/CAE
version 2019. The study aims to evaluate the structural integrity of reinforced concrete (RC) …

The increasing demands for more durable, lighter, and smarter structures have led to the
development of new and advanced composites. Increased strength and simultaneous …

Shear failure in reinforced concrete (RC) beams have always been a serious concern due to
its brittle fracture mode. In addition, many questions are raised about the accuracy of current …
