Near-threshold fatigue crack growth in bulk metallic glass composites [PDF]
A major drawback in using bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) as structural materials is their extremely poor fatigue performance. One way to alleviate this problem is through the composite route, in which second phases are introduced into the glass to arrest ...

Experimental Study on Crack Width of HRB600 Grade High-Strength Steel Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams
High-strength reinforcement is an important direction in the development of civil engineering. In order to fill the gap that the current concrete structure code GB50010 has no standard regulations applicable to HRB600-grade high-strength reinforcement ...

Characterisation of microstructure, defect and high-cycle-fatigue behaviour in a stainless steel joint processed by brazing [PDF]
We report the characterisation of microstructures and high-cycle-fatigue (HCF) properties of Type 304 stainless steel joints processed by brazing. Pure copper was applied as the filler metal for brazing at 1120 °C. A two-phase microstructure was obtained

Failure in plain and reinforced concrete—an analysis of crack width and crack spacing
The proper prediction of crack widths in plain concrete and the spacing of primary cracks in reinforced concrete are the subject of this paper. Attention is focused on the influence of the crack concept. A comparison has been made between the standard crack model, the crack model with the fracture energy as a separate parameter, the rate-dependent ...

Average Crack Spacing of Overlay-Strengthened RC Beams [PDF]
This research evaluates the average crack spacing of overlay-strengthened RC beams. Current equations in different structural codes for predicting the average crack spacing of RC beams with multilayered reinforcing bars have proved inapplicable to overlay-strengthened RC beams, although both types of beams are reinforced with multiple layers.

A Prediction Model for Concrete Cracks due to Chloride-Induced Corrosion
The nonhomogeneity of concrete leads to randomness in the development and extension of cracks. Scholars have proposed different models to analyze the development of cracks. Different from existing works on crack development, in this paper, we establish a

On the numerical modelling of bond for the failure analysis of reinforced concrete [PDF]
The structural performance of reinforced concrete relies heavily on the bond between reinforcement and concrete. In nonlinear finite element analyses, bond is either modelled by merged, also called perfect bond, or coincident with slip, also called bond ...

Shear strength analysis of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP bars using strut and tie model [PDF]
This dissertation presents an experimental investigation on the behavior and ultimate shear strength of reinforced concrete beam. Sixteen reinforced concrete beams was design and tested to failure. This study consists of two series of beams, which are
