Punching shear of unbonded post‐tensioned steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs: The fiber contribution

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

From section to structure: Assessing the impact of localized corrosion on reinforced concrete beams

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) elements affected by localized corrosion represents a major challenge for ensuring structural safety and for the proper design of strengthening interventions. The effects of localized corrosion on the flexural behavior of RC beams remain a topic of debate within the scientific community.

Structural capacity of precast concrete walls with openings: A parametric study on connection types and reinforcement ratios

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

Sensitivity study on accuracy and relevant parameters in numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

A method for determining the performance of formulas for calculating the crack width and spacing in reinforced concrete elements

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerous studies have been conducted to determine the performance of formulas for calculating crack width and spacing in reinforced concrete structures. Generally, these studies pay limited attention to the application areas of those formulas and how to compare different representations of the crack width and spacing.
