Experimental Investigation on OSB Webbed Laminated Bamboo Lumber Box Shaped Joists [PDF]
A novel bamboo-wood box beam was introduced in this paper, which consisted of laminated bamboo lumber flanges and OSB webs. Four-point bending tests were conducted on composite beams to investigate the effects of shear span ratio and stiffeners on ...

Analysis of selected shear strength models based on research of beams without stirrups [PDF]
The paper presents two theoretical models for calculating shear capacity of beams without stirrups. The analysis refers to slender concrete beams without transverse reinforcement flexurally reinforced with two types of bars: steel and composite (glass ...

Experimental Study of the Behavior of Box Floor with Orthogonal Ribbed Beams by Poplar LVL
Considering the unidirectional layout of ribbed beams and simple structure in traditional wooden floors, it is not suitable for large-span wooden buildings. Six groups of floor ribbed beams with plane size of 4.8 m×3.6 m were designed and manufactured by

DUCTILITY OF NORMAL AND HIGH STRENGTH CONTINUOUS BEAMS REINFORCED WITH GFRP REBARS
In the reinforced concrete structures, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been considered an alternative material to steel reinforcement with advantages of corrosion resistance, non-conductivity and a high strength to weight ratio.
