Modelling Dowel Action of Discrete Reinforcing Bars in Cracked Concrete Structures [PDF]
Dowel action is one of the component actions for shear force transfer in cracked reinforced concrete. In finite element analysis of concrete structures, the use of discrete representation of reinforcing bars is considered advantageous over the smeared representation due to the relative ease of modelling the bond‐slip behaviour.

Interface Model for Bond-Slip and Dowel-Action Behavior [PDF]
This paper presents an interface element formulation for modeling dowel action and bond-slip behavior of steel reinforcing bars in the finite element analysis of concrete structures. The interface connects steel bar elements to concrete elements, and allows bar elements to have a smaller size than the concrete elements to which they are connected, to ...

Shear transfer between precast prestressed bridge beams and in-situ concrete crosshead in continuous structures [PDF]
A detailed investigation was made to study the shear transfer between precast prestressed beams and in-situ concrete in a relatively new method of construction of continuous bridge decks where the ends of precast beams are connected to an integral in ...

Modelling of the shear resistance of self-stressed beams reinforced with FRP applying the Critical Shear Crack Theory [PDF]
This paper presents a mechanical model of the shear resistance based on Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) and its application for the checking of the shear ultimate state of self-stressed elements reinforced with FRP bars.

Multiple Frames of Reference Are Used During the Selection and Planning of a Sequential Joint Action
Co-actors need to anticipate each other's actions to successfully perform joint actions. The frames of reference (FOR) used to simulate a co-actor's action could impact what information is anticipated. We hypothesized that co-actor's would adopt their co-

Dowel behaviour of rebars under combined axial and shear actions
AbstractThe resource of shear resistance provided by the dowel mechanism of rebar in reinforced concrete (RC) structures can significantly affected by the simultaneous presence of axial loading. This occurs for example of plastic hinges of seismic resistant structures.

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are emerging as a potential replacement for steel rebars due to their vulnerability to corrosion. However, the shear behavior of GFRP bars is not well established, especially in functionally graded self ...
