Analysis of the structural behavior of beam-column joints in reinforced concrete frames considering bending towards the reduced side of the cross section [PDF]

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
The beam-column joints are called discontinuous regions and, therefore, could be designed by the strut and tie method. In beam-column joints where the bending plane coincides with the column's smaller dimension, the bending moments associated with the ...

Investigation on shear behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams without shear reinforcement strengthened with fiber reinforced polymers

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
Shear failure is an undesirable type of failure in terms of structural safety. Particularly, reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams without shear reinforcement are vulnurable to shear failure. In order to improve the shear behavior of such beams, externally

Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams [PDF]

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
The reinforced concrete dapped-ends present in beams, being regions of discontinuity, require non-trivial models for their analysis and design, such as the strut-and-tie model, the shear-friction model, and the finite element method.

Reinforced concrete corbels strengthened with external prestressing

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2019
Reinforced concrete structures may demand, throughout their lifetime, the increase of the capacity load due to eventual changes in the load configuration. In this context, corbels could be considered structural elements which present great challenges for

String Figuring young children's perspectives of quality in English early childhood education and care

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

Testing and modeling of deep beams strengthened with NSM-CFRP reinforcement around cutouts

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2021
The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams strengthened with near-surface-mounted carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (NSM-CFRP) reinforcement around cutouts is examined in this study.

GENERATING STRUT-AND-TIE MODELS USING CONTINUUM AND DISCRETE TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION [PDF]

, 2017
. Strut-and-tie models are largely used as an auxiliary tool in the design of reinforced concrete (RC) components with low shear span-to-depth ratio, such as deep beams, corbels,pile caps or joints.

Nacre‐inspired layered composite with excellent mechanical support and osteogenic potential for cervical interbody cage

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The cervical interbody cage needs to take both biomechanical and biological requirements into account. Here, a new‐style degradable, multicomponent, and bioinspired nacre‐like cervical interbody cage composite, which exhibits promising mechanical‐support‐related behavior and osteogenesis‐related potential, is designed and prepared.

10th East Asia-Pacific Conference on Structural Engineering and Construction: Materials, Experimentation, Maintenance and Rehabilitation (EASEC-10) [PDF]

, 2006
This paper presents the performance-based optimization of strut-and-tie models in reinforced concrete beam-column connections. The performance-based optimization (PBO) technique is employed to investigate optimal strut-and-tie models in reinforced ...

Preclinical Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of a Novel Controlled‐Expansion ePTFE‐Covered TIPS Stent in a Swine Model

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This preclinical study evaluated a novel controlled‐expansion expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)‐covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stent in 11 swine, demonstrating 100% technical success, excellent deployability, and durable 6‐month angiographic patency without thrombosis, migration, fracture, or device‐related toxicity.
