In practice, the passage of service utilities through web opening causes a significant load‐carrying capacity loss and introduces a change of failure mode of the composite beam. This study aims to improve the load‐carrying capacity and stiffness of open‐web composite beams subjected to static and cyclic loading using posttensioning tendons.

Finite element modeling of steel bar buckling in FRP-confined RC columns [PDF]
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confining jackets offer an attractive solution for the seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. For an accurate prediction of the strength and ductility of FRP-confined RC columns, it is necessary to understand

Flexural Behaviour of HYFRC Beam Reinforced with GFRP Rebar
This paper offers the experimental have a take a look at at the flexural behaviour of HYFRC beams bolstered with glass fiber bolstered polymer (GFRP) rebar and in comparison with everyday metal reinforcement beams. Three beams reinforced with GFRP rebar and three beams of traditional concrete metal strengthened with absolutely six beams have been ...
