The present paper proposes a mechanical model for the prediction of the response of
slender reinforced concrete beams with corroded transverse and longitudinal …

With the inventory of aging and deteriorating concrete infrastructure continuing to grow
throughout much of North America and other regions of the world, there is a need for cost …

Shear-deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures can be effectively strengthened using
external prestressed carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps. Due to the presence of …

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 …

This paper presents the derivation and validation of a mechanics-based finite element for
the analysis of shear-critical slender reinforced concrete beams and columns. The element …

Full-depth precast deck slab cantilevers also referred to as full-depth precast concrete
bridge deck overhang panels are becoming increasingly popular in concrete bridge deck …

Stirrups corrosion causes damage effects on the shear response of reinforced concrete
elements. Such damage mainly includes cracking and spalling of concrete in the cover, and …

Current methods used to assess structural cracking in concrete bridge infrastructure consist
of various rating criteria in the form of pre-established concrete crack width and crack density …

Previous studies have shown that a uniform distribution of load may increase the shear
strength of a slender member by as much as 40 percent (Leonhardt and Walther 1964). The …

In nonslender members, significant vertical compressive stresses occur by the loading and
support conditions. Sectional models, which ignore the beneficial effects of these vertical …
