Reliability analysis of strut-and-tie models for the design of deep beams according to NBR 6118 (2023) [PDF]
The strut-and-tie method (STM) applied in the structural design of deep beams is a semi-probabilistic method, that does not take directly into account both the uncertainties associated with the variables involved and those inherent in the calculation ...

Strut-and-tie models for deteriorated reinforced concrete half-joints [PDF]
A reinforced concrete half-joint bridge consists of suspended span dapped-end beams or a full-width deck supported on the nibs of abutments or adjacent beams.

Pre‐failure behavior of continuous post‐tensioned and post‐grouted beam in case of tendon failure
Abstract Grouted tendons are a common solution for long‐span bridge structures. The grout provides bond and corrosion protection for prestressing steel. However, if the grouting is defective, corrosion of the prestressing steel may initiate and eventually lead to tendon failure.

Reinforced concrete corbels strengthened with external prestressing
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

Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Abstract This article examines the behavior of reinforced‐concrete pile caps on two piles under concentric and eccentric loading, with emphasis on the influence of horizontal and vertical supplementary reinforcement on load‐carrying capacity. Although the Strut‐and‐Tie method does not include this reinforcement in the internal equilibrium, it was found

Behaviour of traditional Portuguese timber roof structures [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to present the results of a structural analysis of common trusses traditionally used in roof construction in Portugal. The study includes the results of a preliminary survey intending to assess the geometry, materials and on site

Abstract This study investigates the shear capacity behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups incorporating recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). An extensive database comprising 269 experimental data points from 40 journal articles published between 2001 and 2025 was compiled, excluding specimens with recycled fine aggregate or fiber ...
