Strut-and-tie model (STM), with its truss analogy, is yet a powerful tool for analyzing and
designing complex prestressed and reinforced concrete structures. Which represents a …

This study investigates experimentally the shear strengthening and repairing of reinforced
concrete (RC) deep beams damaged by heat utilizing near-surface mounted carbon fiber …

In this paper, the influences of externally bonded (EB) glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP)
fabrics and gas actuated fasteners (GAF) on the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) …

The application of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (EB-FRP) is known to
improve the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams. Nevertheless, the studies …

Deep concrete beams are the structural members that have different behaviors compared
with normal beams. The high depth of these beams has made them favorable for placing the …

The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams is complex and difficult to predict due
to factors such as compressive and shear stress and beam geometry. To address this …

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 …

For the analysis and design of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams, the strut-and-tie model
is typically employed to simulate the flow of stresses. A bottle-shaped strut develops …

Deep reinforced concrete beams constitute one of the most important structural members
carrying large loads in long span structures that have been less investigated than ordinary …

Failure of reinforced concrete deep beams which are main structural elements in bridges
and tall buildings is mainly brittle and shear-dominant. Besides, fire incidents, being a major …
