International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2021 The shear span-to-effective depth ratio (a/d) is one of the factors governing the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, with or without shear reinforcement. In high-strength concrete (HSC), cracks may propagate between the aggregate particles

Influence of Flanges Geometry on the Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Inverted T-beams [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Research - Egypt, 2023 Most international codes of practice didn't consider the flange contribution of reinforced concrete T-beams in shear strength. In inverted T-beams loaded on the web, if the flange area is considered in shear strength, the results may be overestimated ...

Quality of cold-mix asphalt in bituminous pavement maintenance in Ghana: Preliminary indications
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2021 Prevalence of premature patch failures in bituminous pavement maintenance in Ghana, involving pothole and partial-depth repairs using cold-mix asphalt (CMA), has become a major concern as the failures call for repeated patching in the face of limited ...

Vibrated concrete vs. self-compacting concrete: comparison of fracture mechanics properties [PDF]
, 2014 This study focuses on the fracture mechanics aspect of self-compacting concrete, compared to vibrated concrete. The most commonly used experiments to investigate the toughness and cracking behaviour of concrete are the three-point bending test (3PBT) on ...
