Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.

Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition
Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Dual potential capacity model for short and deep reinforced concrete members containing steel fibers
Abstract This study presents an analytical model for estimating the shear strength of short and deep steel fiber‐reinforced concrete (SFRC) members with a shear span‐to‐depth ratio less than 2.5. To this end, a dual potential capacity model (DPCM) is developed based on the demand‐capacity approach for evaluating the shear strength of SFRC beams that ...
