The influences of the number of concrete dowels to shear resistance based on push out tests
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2022 To reduce the depth of floor-beam structures and to save the cost of headed-shear studs, many types of shallow composite beam have been developed during the last few years. Among them, the shallow-hollow steel beam consists of web openings, infilled with

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 ...

Effectiveness of Dowels in Concrete Pavement [PDF]
Materials, 2019 Dowels are located in transverse joints of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP) and they are used to provide load transfer between individual slabs, reduce faulting and improve performance. Dowels and the concrete itself are under the highest stress in the vicinity of joints; thus, in terms of pavement design, the joints are the weakest points of ...

The challenges of GFRP RC beam design for limit states
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are used ever more frequently in concrete construction due to their non‐corrosive and anti‐magnetic properties. Their research over the past decades focused on fundamental questions, such as the design aspects of beams under flexural loads.

Dowel bars – reinforcing elements of cement concrete pavements
Acta Polytechnica CTU ProceedingsOur aim is to analyze the function of reinforcement elements (dowel bars) in cement concrete pavement to highlight the influence of these elements on the service life of the pavement as a whole and to find possible alternatives to existing products that

Predicting Behavior of Grouted Dowel Connections Using Interfacial Cohesive Elements
Applied Sciences, 2019 Grouted dowel connections are used extensively in precast load bearing walls owing to their simple construction and forgiving tolerances. Current design guidelines do not adequately consider the composite nature of such connections.

Three‐parameter kinematic theory for shear assessment of reinforced concrete short columns
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This work presents a rational kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear capacity of rectangular reinforced concrete short columns. Due to their high stiffness and brittleness, short columns are particularly vulnerable to seismic forces, often exhibiting critical failures.

Simulating Strength Behaviors of Corner Joints of Wood Constructions by Using Finite Element Method
Drvna Industrija, 2016 Using finite element method (FEM) has become wide spread in the field of wood mechanics for analyzing difficult problems instead of conventional methods. The objective of this study is to determine the strength properties of wood corner joints using FEM.

Influence of shear reinforcement detailing on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Alternative shear reinforcement layouts that do not fully enclose the longitudinal tensile reinforcement can significantly improve the constructability of reinforced concrete (RC) members. However, their influence on shear transfer mechanisms is not yet fully understood. To address this gap, an experimental program comprising 10 shear tests on

Determination of bending moment resistance of t-type joints constructed with wood biscuit [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Wood and Paper Industries, 2014 The goal of this study was to investigate effects of wood species (Beech and Fir), number of connectors (1 and 2), size of biscuit (10 and 20) and type of adhesives (Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), polyurethane (PU) and urea-formaldehyde (UF)) on bending ...
