Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Rotation capacity of continuous reinforced concrete slab strips revisited
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Rotation capacity is a key characteristic of statically indeterminate reinforced concrete structures, as it (i) enables bending moment redistributions, whether intentionally introduced through optimized reinforcement layouts or arising from unforeseen self‐equilibrated stress states, and (ii) promotes large rotations at failure load, thereby ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The acoustic emission (AE) technique has proven to be an effective method for detecting individual wire breaks in prestressed concrete structures affected by stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, despite its widespread application, the quantitative assessment of AE monitoring reliability and optimal sensor placement remains unresolved ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract During their life cycle, prestressed concrete bridges are prone to wire breaks of their tendons due to fatigue or stress corrosion cracking. However, not all structures show visible cracking on the surface, which would provide timely warning of otherwise invisible damage. Brittle failure may occur.

Effective axial strength of laterally strengthened RC pier heads with post‐tensioning method
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the structural performance enhancement of reinforced concrete (RC) pier heads laterally strengthened with unbonded post‐tensioning (PT) to accommodate increased design loads following a deck replacement of an existing railway bridge.
