Multiparametric modeling of infill shear walls with additionally made openings

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The paper deals with the implementation of additional openings in reinforced concrete infill shear walls from the point of view of structural analysis. In the introductory part, the current state of knowledge in the methods of analysis of this issue is discussed, and their advantages or shortcomings are pointed out.

A spring model for simulating the cracking process in RC members subjected to tensile actions

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Predicting the development of cracking processes in structural elements made of reinforced concrete (RC) or other cementitious composites is still a challenging task. Although well‐established experimental procedures are widely adopted with the aim to gain empirical knowledge of the aforementioned processes, no similar consensus has been ...

Influence of steel reinforced grout configuration, and reinforcement ratio on the flexural performance of strengthened continuous RC beams

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The field of reinforced concrete (RC) strengthening continues to evolve as the construction industry seeks cost‐effective and sustainable alternatives to structural replacement. This study, therefore, aimed to comprehensively investigate the pioneering application of steel‐reinforced grout (SRG) for strengthening large‐scale, 3.5‐meter‐long ...
