Although many different analytical models of local bond stress–slip have been proposed,
considering the possible differences between materials in different countries, their …

In reinforced concrete design, it is necessary to evaluate the crack widths so as to ensure
compliance with the design codes. However, crack width analysis is not easy and so far only …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) is free from corrosion problem and is a viable alternative
reinforcement material for concrete structures in lieu of steel reinforcing bars. Since FRP has …

The deformation characteristics of cracked reinforced concrete beams are largely dependent
on the tension stiffening effect. As one of the serviceability analysis approaches, the …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) as an alternative reinforcement material offers the major
advantage of being corrosion-free compared to conventional steel reinforcement. However …

Crack widths are important considerations in both serviceability and durability design of
concrete structures and should be evaluated to ensure compliance with design limits …

Due to various numerical problems, crack analysis of reinforced concrete members using
the finite element method is confronting with substantial difficulties, rendering the prediction …

In marine environments, the durability of reinforced concrete structures such as bridges,
which suffer from the coupled effects of corrosion and fatigue damage, is significantly …

Tension stiffening effect, which is due to participation of concrete in resisting tension
between cracks, results in the reduction of strains of reinforced concrete member relative to …

Crack width is one important consideration in both serviceability and durability design of
reinforced concrete structures and should be evaluated to ensure compliance with design …
