Flexural and shear strengthening of RC elements
, 2013 In a recent experimental program dealing with the Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique for the flexural strengthening of continuous reinforced concrete (RC) slabs strips, the increase of load carrying and the moment redistribution was lower than the expected values.

Modelling of SFRC using inverse finite element analysis
, 2006 A method of inverse finite element analysis is used to determine the constitutive relationship of SFRC in tension, using primary experimental data. Based on beam bending test results and results from pull-out tests, an attempt is made to explain the ...

Split‐disk testing of precast ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete tubes
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has great potential for structural applications involving precast cylindrical shapes, including pipes, silos and stay‐in‐place forms for concrete columns. This study examines the performance of UHPFRC rings under internal pressure simulated using the split‐disk loading method, along ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the behavior of reinforced‐concrete pile caps on two piles under concentric and eccentric loading, with emphasis on the influence of horizontal and vertical supplementary reinforcement on load‐carrying capacity. Although the Strut‐and‐Tie method does not include this reinforcement in the internal equilibrium, it was found

From section to structure: Assessing the impact of localized corrosion on reinforced concrete beams
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) elements affected by localized corrosion represents a major challenge for ensuring structural safety and for the proper design of strengthening interventions. The effects of localized corrosion on the flexural behavior of RC beams remain a topic of debate within the scientific community.

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...
