Geopolymer concrete reinforced with glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars can
provide a construction system with high durability, high sustainability, and adequate …

This paper presents the bond behaviors of deformed steel rebars in engineered
cementitious composite (ECC) and concrete under direct pullout condition. A total of 12 …

Most known tension stiffening relationships have been derived using test data of shrunk
reinforced concrete members. Therefore, tension stiffening was coupled with shrinkage …

Tension stiffening is an important phenomenon in reinforced concrete because it controls
not only deflections but also crack spacings, crack widths and the formation of multiple …

Tension stiffening is most often included in models of reinforced concrete by modifying the
constitutive laws of the tensile concrete. In reality, tension stiffening is caused by the bond …

The formation of hinges in reinforced concrete beams is important as hinges influence the
ability of the beam and, subsequently, the frame to absorb energy and resist extreme loads …

In general, steel-reinforced concrete involves a ductile steel material and a very strong and
ductile bond between the steel reinforcement and concrete, so that debonding rarely …

Effective bond strength at the interface between conventional concrete (CC) and high-
performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCC) is vital for applications like …

A widely accepted approach for quantifying the serviceability short term deflection of RC
beams is to use some combination of the flexural rigidities of the uncracked (EI fi-uncr) and …

Reinforcement corrosion in concrete structures with excessive crack width poses a high risk
of reducing the structure's service life. The crack width behavior is one of the most complex …
