This paper presents the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with and
without openings strengthened externally with bamboo fiber reinforced composite (BFRC) …

This paper presents the efficiency of using prefabricated ultra‐high performance fiber
reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) plates in shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) …

In the current investigation, four reinforced concrete beams with square cross sectional area
were poured and tested up to failure under the action of three-point loads. Three of them …

The strong column-weak beam hierarchy, which is now widely accepted in the design of
reinforced concrete (RC) frames to achieve good seismic performance, is violated in many …

Chemical swelling and electrochemical oxidation are combined to realize the separation
and recovery of carbon fibers from carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) in dimethyl …

Web openings often need to be created in reinforced concrete (RC) beams for the passages
of utility ducts and/or pipes. Such web openings reduce the cross-section area of the beam …

Making web openings in reinforced concrete (RC) beams is frequently required for the
passage of utility ducts and/or pipes. Such web opening (s) leads to reduction of the strength …

Plasmas are reactive ionised gases, which enable the creation of unique reaction fields.
This allows plasmas to be widely used for a variety of chemical processes for materials …

This study aims to experimentally examine the structural behavior of self-compacting
concrete hollow beams containing in-place circular openings in various positions. The …

For the passage of utility ducts and/or pipes, openings often need to be created in the web of
a reinforced concrete (RC) beam. Such a web opening can lead to a significant decrease in …
