Shear-deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams have to be strengthened in cases where
they exhibit substandard conditions [1-4]. Strengthening solutions have therefore gained …

The necessity of strengthening concrete beams appears in cases where concrete beams are
subjected to deterioration mainly instigated by heavier traffic loads, poor initial design …

Purpose: This paper examines the effect of shear span-to-effective depth (a/d) ratio on the
structural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams strengthened in shear with deep …

The existing web openings installed in reinforced concrete (RC) beams can appear in cases
where heating or air conditioning, power supply or computer network cables pass through …

This study presents a two-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model for DE
strengthened RC beams without existing steel shear links. The two-dimensional FE model …
