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

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Kinematics‐based model for shear capacity assessment of unreinforced interior beam–column joints
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear strength of reinforced concrete interior beam–column joints without transverse reinforcement. The proposed framework is built on first principles—kinematics, equilibrium, and constitutive relations—and explicitly models discrete cracks by introducing kinematic parameters such

The challenges of GFRP RC beam design for limit states
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are used ever more frequently in concrete construction due to their non‐corrosive and anti‐magnetic properties. Their research over the past decades focused on fundamental questions, such as the design aspects of beams under flexural loads.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) dapped‐end connections feature a sharp re‐entrant corner subjected to high stress concentrations, leading to wide cracks under service loads and potential durability issues such as reinforcement corrosion. Effective crack control is therefore essential in the design of new dapped‐end connections. Steel fiber reinforced

Improvement and Application of the Softened Strut-and-Tie Model
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2017 Previous experimental researches indicate that reinforced concrete beam-column joints play an important role in the mechanical properties of moment resisting frame structures, so as to require proper design. The aims of this paper are to predict the joint carrying capacity and cracks development theoretically.

Three‐parameter kinematic theory for shear assessment of reinforced concrete short columns
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This work presents a rational kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear capacity of rectangular reinforced concrete short columns. Due to their high stiffness and brittleness, short columns are particularly vulnerable to seismic forces, often exhibiting critical failures.

Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams [PDF]
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e MateriaisThe 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.

Application of strut-and-tie model on eccentric columns
Mechanics, 2011 The popular strut-and-tie model is currently de fined by EC2 as a standard tool for simple structures. This paper explores the possibility of application of the strut and-tie model on more complex structures, specifically on the eccentric columns. Comparison with full numerical simulation shows that the strut-and-tie model can correctly predict the ...
