Effects of plastic hinges on partial interaction behaviour of bolted side-plated beams [PDF]
Slips of mechanical connectors in steel plate reinforced concrete (RC) structures can significantly affect the load-carrying capacity of the structures.

Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Shear capacity in concrete beams reinforced by stirrups with two different inclinations [PDF]
A model for the estimation of shear capacity in Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams with web reinforcement is provided by introducing a generalization of classical plastic Nielsen’s model, which is based on the variable-inclination stress-field approach.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Strip loading in steel fiber reinforced concrete: Experimental and theoretical investigation
Abstract Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming increasingly popular in engineering practice due to its high robustness, post‐cracking behavior, and crack control. For strip loading, as common, for example, in longitudinal joints of tunnel lining segments, the use of fiber reinforced concrete has the potential to reduce conventional reinforcement ...

During an explosion, a building’s stability is directly impacted by reinforced concrete (RC) columns. However, there is currently no theoretical analysis model that can precisely predict damage to RC columns after close-in/contact explosions.

Seismic performance evaluation of a century‐old RC columns for railway's structural concrete
Abstract Since the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 in Japan, reinforced concrete (RC) has been adopted for railway bridge piers, and some of these structures, now over 100 years old, continue to support transportation in the capital city of Tokyo. Evaluating the seismic performance of these few remaining RC structures has become an urgent issue. Because

Low cycle fatigue tests of reinforced concrete columns and joints built with ribbed reinforcement and plain stirrups [PDF]
The majority of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings were built prior to the introduction of seismic codes. As observed in various recent earthquakes, due to their lack of structural capacity and ductility such structures are very vulnerable and
