The significance of interfaces, either cracks within monolithic RC elements (natural cracks)
or interfaces between concretes cast at different times (cold joints), cannot be overestimated …

The use of thin reinforced self-compacting concrete jackets as a method to repair and
strengthen under-designed flexural concrete members is investigated by means of …

A number of finite element modeling approaches for reinforced concrete (RC) structural
walls have recently become available for both research purposes and design applications …

Results from 50 bond tests conducted using the so-called direct tension pullout specimen
type are presented. Anchorages of steel bars with machined deformations were tested so as …

The retrofitting of the existing RC structures with added concrete layer crossed by post-
installed rebars is strongly related to the behavior of the interface between the new and the …

Provisions for the calculation of interface shear strength have remained unchanged in ACI
318 since the 1980s. The shear friction concept, while simple to apply, does not address …

The objective of the present study is the development of an analytical model for predicting
the response under reversed cyclic loading of structural members with 'old-type'detailing …

The composite flexural action of prismatic reinforced concrete (RC) members
repaired/strengthened by RC jacketing was modeled with a dual-section approach. The …

The shear behavior of reinforced concrete interfaces between new and existing concrete is
known to be a key parameter for the effectiveness of strengthening and repair interventions …

ABSTRACT A relatively simple finite element modeling approach–named the Fixed-Strut-
Angle Finite Element (FSAFE) Model–is presented in this paper for simulating the hysteretic …
