Field Evaluation of Elliptical Fiber Reinforced Polymer Dowel Performance, June 2005 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are making an entry into the construction market in both buildings and pavements. The application to pavements so far has come in the form of joint reinforcement (dowels and tie bars).

Rotation capacity of continuous reinforced concrete slab strips revisited

open access: yesStructural 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 ...

Guide to Dowel Load Transfer Systems for Jointed Concrete Roadway Pavements, September 2011 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This guide provides a summary of the factors and design theories that should be considered when designing dowel load transfer systems for concrete pavement systems (including dowel basket design and fabrication) and presents recommendations for ...

Enhancement of shear strength of bonded post-tensioned beams using inverted-U shaped reinforcements

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2020
At cracked stage, the post-tensioned concrete beams resist shear through a different set of mechanisms, the accepted mechanisms are: interface shear transfer, dowel action of longitudinal reinforcements, shear transfer in compression zone, transversal ...

The challenges of GFRP RC beam design for limit states

open access: yesStructural 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.

Composite beams with indented construction joint – comparison of results of laboratory tests and numerical analysis

open access: yesBudownictwo i Architektura, 2020
The paper presents a comparative analysis of the behaviour of a composite beam, consisted of a precast element with indented surface and new concrete layer, subjected to 4-point bending.

Three‐parameter kinematic theory for shear assessment of reinforced concrete short columns

open access: yesStructural 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.

Breaking down barriers in building teacher competence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Teachers may well be made, not born, and appointments to academic positions are often made without regard to the appointee’s prior experience or competence in teaching.

Concrete beams reinforced with longitudinal and transverse GFRP bars

open access: yesMagazine of Civil Engineering
This research investigated experimentally and numerically the general behavior of six concrete beams reinforced with longitudinal and transverse bars made of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) or steel.
