The recycling of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete in the lightweight construction
sector is not yet explored. The complexity of recycling resides from concrete crushing that …

This paper describes experimental tests of the shear performance of high-strength
reinforced concrete deep beams produced with different coarse aggregates, conducted at …

To investigate the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) continuous deep beams with
glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars, four large-scale beams with a constant shear …

In this study, a strut-and-tie model (STM) for predicting the shear strength of reinforced
concrete deep beams and corbels was proposed. The model was derived on the basis of …

When shear cracking occurs in existing reinforced concrete deep members, engineers are
faced with the challenge of determining the safety of the members. This paper presents a …

Based on the experimental results, this paper investigates the shear mechanism of
reinforced concrete deep beams without stirrups. By analyzing the kinematics of the critical …

For the shear strength of deep beams, most of current design codes adopt the strut-and-tie
model. However, since the shear resistance mechanism of deep beams is quite complicated …

In order to optimise the utilisation of material properties, simplify the construction process
and enhance the industrialisation of steel reinforced concrete beams, an innovative …

This paper presents a research programme conducted on a total of seven large high
strength concrete (HSC) beams, up to 1800 mm in depth and 13400 mm in span, with and …

The low-temperature brittle failure of materials could aggravate the brittle characteristics of
shear failure of RC beams, which urgently needs scientific research. This paper aims to …
