Reducing the shear reinforcement in reinforced concrete beams and slabs

Magazine of Concrete Research, 1965
Summary The shear tests reported in the present paper were carried out in Stuttgart from 1961 to 1963. The mechanism of failure at ultimate shear load is explained in terms of the truss analogy, and the ratio between the width of the compression flange and the thickness of the web is shown to have a considerable influence on the inclination of the ...

Rehabilitation of Reinforced Concrete Beams

Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2017
The concrete structures are often exposed to damage as a result of several factors including, environment, design, and other factors, and because of the high cost and long time needed for reconstruction of the damaged buildings, it become necessary to consider methods for rehabilitation of the damaged structural member in the building.

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Flexural Test of Fly Ash based Geopolimer Concrete Beams

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Fly ash is a by-product from the coal industry, which is widely available in Indonesia. Fly ash contains quite high silicate and alumina. Silica and alumina reacts with alkaline solution to produce alumina silicate gel which binds the aggregate to ...

The effect of construction joints on the flexural bending capacity of singly reinforced beams

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2016
The main purpose of conducting this study is to determine the difference in the bending capacity between a singly reinforced monolithic beam and a singly reinforced beam with a construction joint at the beam center, for a range of different compressive ...

Improving the performance of concrete using 3D fibres [PDF]

, 2012
This paper examines whether 3D fibre reinforcement can improve the toughness and flexural strength of concrete, when compared to equal dosage of straight steel fibres. This work was carried out to determine structural qualities that may lead to potential

Chiral‐Nematic Lattice Instability in Charge Density Wave of 1T‐TiSe2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The charge density wave of 1T‐TiSe2 appears chiral to surface probes yet loses all symmetry in spectroscopic measurements. This study reveals how cooperative condensation of multiple phonon modes stabilizes a chiral monoclinic ground state, while a shallow nematic energy landscape allows the lattice to break the remaining symmetry at negligible cost ...
