Shear database for prestressed concrete members
(2011-05)
Development of shear databases attracted a great deal of attention in the shear research community within the last decade. Although a few shear databases have already been developed by several research groups, there is no ...
Behavior of slender beams without stirrups: effects of load distribution and member depth
(2015-12)
Though uniform loading is common in structures, the vast majority of all shear strength tests on slender reinforced concrete members without stirrups have been performed using concentrated loading. Furthermore, the uniform ...
Anchorage-controlled shear capacity of prestressed concrete bridge girders
(2012-05)
As part of the ongoing research on shear at the Phil M. Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory (FSEL) located at The University of Texas at Austin, the anchorage controlled shear capacity of prestressed concrete bridge ...
In-plane shear strength and stiffness of precast concrete panels
(2015-12)
Pre-Cast-Panels (PCP) have been used for decades as stay-in-place forms to support the wet concrete during the placement of bridge decks and as part of the composite slab for typical straight bridges. The typical connection ...
Experimental investigation of shear transfer between concrete interfaces
(2014-12)
This experimental program was focused on the effect of surface geometry (shear keys) on the transmission of shear forces between concrete cast against a hardened concrete interface. This research was part of a larger study ...
Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams with bi-directional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips and CFRP anchors
(2014-08)
The use of externally bounded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) for strengthening existing RC structures has shown promising results. Although CFRP materials have high tensile strength, the ability to utilize that ...
Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) under fatigue and sustained loading applications
(2011-08)
Four specimens were tested to evaluate the shear performance of beams with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates and CFRP anchors under fatigue and sustained loading applications. The specimens consisted of ...
Structural performance of ASR/DEF damaged prestressed concrete trapezoidal box beams with dapped ends
(2010-08)
Across the State of Texas and many other areas of the world, relatively young concrete structures have developed signs of premature concrete deterioration. Large cracks form on the surface of the concrete due to expansive ...
Preliminary analysis of doubler plate attachment details for steel moment resisting frames
(2011-05)
In steel moment resisting frames, the region of the column located within the beam-column joint is known as the panel zone. When a steel moment resisting frame is subjected to lateral load, due to wind or seismic loads, ...
Experimental investigation of crushing capacity of I-girder webs containing post-tensioning ducts
(2012-12)
The shear capacity of a post-tensioned, concrete I-girder may be influenced if the crushing capacity of the web is reduced by ducts for the tendons. An experimental investigation was conducted on compressively-loaded, ...
