In recent years, concrete technology has advanced, prompting engineers and researchers to
adopt advanced materials to improve strength and durability. Steel-fiber-reinforced concrete …

This study aimed to investigate fire resistance of strain hardening ultra-high performance
concrete (SHUHPC). A series of mechanical tests, spalling tests, thermal analysis, and …

Stirrups can be added to reinforced concrete (RC) beams made of plain concrete to increase
the shear strength providing better performance against embrittlement. If the need for shear …

Although providing sufficient shear strength is crucial in the design of hollow-core slabs
(HCS) to prevent shear failure, conventional shear equations for HCS could not always …

This paper aims to experimentally and numerically study the effect of steel fiber on the
behavior of Lightweight Foamed Reinforced Concrete (LWFRC) deep beams and its …

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of polypropylene-based structural macro
synthetic fiber (PPF) reinforcement on the behavior of reinforced concrete beams produced …

Experimental results of shear investigations on six hollow-core slabs with and without fibers
cast by the extrusion method and tested under elevated temperatures are presented here …

Precast, prestressed hollow core slabs (HCS) are commonly used by the construction
industry for floor and roof systems worldwide. Generally, the web shear strength governs the …

The engineering application of recycled aggregate concrete is significant for resource
conservation and environmental protection. However, the applied range of recycled …

Punching shear failure represents one of the most critical and perilous challenges that slabs
may encounter under load-bearing conditions. Numerous studies have delved into the …
