Design of reinforced concrete inverted-T beams for strength and serviceability
(2013-05)
Significant diagonal cracking in reinforced concrete inverted-T straddle bent caps has been reported throughout the State of Texas. Many of the distressed structures were recently constructed and all have been in service ...
Effects of alkali-silica reaction on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams without transverse reinforcement
(2016-08-10)
Alkali-silica reaction, or ASR, is a common deterioration mechanism that subjects concrete to internal expansive stresses. Previous research on the structural effects of ASR has shown that if a structure is effectively ...
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 ...
Shear cracking in inverted-T straddle bents
(2011-08)
Significant diagonal cracking in reinforced concrete inverted-T (IT)
straddle bent caps has been reported throughout the State of Texas. Many of the distressed structures were recently constructed and have generally been ...
Development of non-contact passive wireless sensors for detection of corrosion in reinforced concrete bridge decks
(2013-12)
Corrosion of embedded reinforcement is the leading form of deterioration affecting the integrity of reinforced and prestressed concrete bridge members around the world. If undetected, corrosion can limit the service life ...
Undercut and grouted anchors as post-installed shear reinforcement
(2014-12)
The need for conservation in engineering has become apparent in the past several decades as a result of resource depletion, aging infrastructures, and diminishing real estate. In addition, many structures see increased ...
Shear strength and effects of HDPE plastic post-tensioning duct on a prestressed girder
(2013-05)
The goal of the splice girder research project 0-6652 funded by the Texas Department of Transportation is to utilize the full potential of splicing prestressed TX girders continuously. The TX girder family of beams is ...
Collapse investigation of the TU Delft faculty of architecture building : preliminary evaluation of member capacities
(2010-08)
On May 13, 2008, the Faculty of Architecture Building, or ‘Bouwkunde’, at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands suffered a fire that resulted in the collapse of the northwest wing of the 13 story building. No ...
Strut-and-tie model design examples for bridge
(2011-12)
Strut-and-tie modeling (STM) is a versatile, lower-bound (i.e. conservative) design method for reinforced concrete structural components. Uncertainty expressed by engineers related to the implementation of existing STM ...
Effect of uniform load on the shear strength of slender beams without shear reinforcement
(2014-08)
Previous studies have shown that a uniform distribution of load may increase the shear strength of a slender member by as much as 40 percent (Leonhardt and Walther 1964). The increase of shear strength is potentially due ...
