Throughout the life of existing concrete structures, there is often a need to assess the
condition of members exhibiting shear cracks. This paper presents a framework for the crack …

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 …

Deep beams in concrete infrastructure often exhibit wide diagonal shear cracks that extend
from the supports to concentrated loads. A key problem in these cases is to assess the …

The accurate assessment of cracked reinforced concrete structures is becoming increasingly
more important as the world's infrastructure ages and resources for retrofit and replacement …

Reinforced concrete deep beams in bridges and other critical infrastructure are subjected to
millions of load cycles during their service life. At the same time, they typically work with high …

Inverted-T bent caps have been widely used to provide increased clearance beneath
bridges. Bridges with inverted-T bent caps often experience a prevalence of cracking at the …

The main indicator of damage in aging concrete infrastructure are wide cracks. However,
while the geometry and opening of the cracks can be measured with great accuracy using …

As the global population and economy continue to expand, the demand for various forms of
transportation, particularly highways, is rising. Bridges play a crucial role in the highway …

This paper investigates the fatigue behaviour of shear-critical reinforced concrete deep
beams with light web reinforcement under fixed-point fatigue load. The aim is to study the …

Engineered fibre composites offer an extremely versatile option to strengthen existing
structures to solve structural problems arising from environmental exposure, inadequate …
