The insufficient lapped splice length of reinforcing bars due to the design or construction
errors reduces both the flexural strength and ductility of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams …

This study investigates the innovative and sustainable use of crumb rubber (CR) and waste
tire steel fibers (WTSF) in reinforced concrete beams. By addressing the concern of reduced …

Flat slab systems are a popular choice among engineers because of their numerous
advantages, such as reduced building height, flexibility in spatial layout by eliminating the …

The near-surface mounted (NSM), in which strips or rods are fixed by an adhesive in slits
formed inside the concrete cover, and the externally bonding (EB), in which the …

In this paper, the structural performance of exterior fly-ash based concrete beam-column
joints reinforced with hybrid glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and steel bars was …

This study used the pull-out test to study the efficiency of bonding reinforced concrete (RC)
strips to the concrete elements. The effect of width, thickness, bond length (L b), and …

Rubberized concrete (RuC) is one of the possible sustainable solutions to the problem of
quickly disposing of old tires. This study introduced a new coating material (metakaolin, MK) …

It is essential to retrofit deep beams with shear inadequacies because these beams,
although they have the same shear and flexural reinforcements as ordinary beams, are …

The shear performances of simply supported (SS) and continuous (CN) reinforced concrete
T-beams strengthened with deep embedded (DE) steel or carbon fibre-reinforced polymer …

In the past, externally bonded (EB) systems have effectively strengthened reinforced
concrete (RC) structures. The use of externally bonded steel plates and rebars for …
