A primary goal of seismic design requirements of building codes is to protect the life safety of
building inhabitants during extreme earthquakes. First and foremost, this requires that the …

Reinforcing concrete with a combination of steel and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)
bars promises favorable strength, serviceability, and durability. To verify its promise and to …

Cracking is an important aspect of concrete behavior that considerably affects the overall
response of concrete structures. The initiation of cracks is governed by concrete tensile …

Axial tension members made of both normal-and high-strength concrete are used to
investigate tension stiffening and cracking of reinforced concrete to determine …

Fiber reinforcement is a promising solution to cracking problems and improving the
concrete's structural performance. The residual strength of the cracked concrete can …

Most known tension stiffening relationships have been derived using test data of shrunk
reinforced concrete members. Therefore, tension stiffening was coupled with shrinkage …

One of the most critical points in the theory of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is
quantifying the residual stresses in tension. Due to concrete interaction with fibres, a cracked …

Present research experimentally and theoretically investigates deformations and tension-
stiffening in concrete beams with different types of reinforcement. The paper reports test …

In this paper, the research goal was the determination of the flexural response of corroded
pre-stressed reinforced concrete beams (PC). A simplified flexural model is bases on the …

Traditionally, concrete shrinkage along with cracking provides one of the major concerns to
the designers because of the inaccuracies and unknowns that surround them. Although …
