This article describes a numerical study for the evaluation of the punching shear behavior of
non-adherent prestressed flat slabs without shear reinforcement. Nonlinear three …

A sustainable environment can be achieved by strengthening the existing building to avoid
new construction and by replacing the construction materials with long-lasting sustainable …

A two-node beam element formulation with eight degrees of freedom was developed and
implemented into MATLAB to simulate the nonlinear behavior of the composite. The beam …

As the construction industry, especially steel construction, contributes to a large portion of
global greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable structural design has become a necessity to …

A segmented 3D-printed concrete (3DPC) beam is designed whose structural reliability
depends on a rebar that can withstand tensile stress at the joints between segments under …

A reduction in composite action using a partial shear connection (PSC) in the hogging
moment region of a steel–concrete bridge can mitigate the concrete tensile cracking risk …

With the advancement technology for reinforced concrete structures, it becomes increasingly
feasible to use this technology for steel structures. The objective of this work is to present the …

A partial connection–prestressing (PCP) method is proposed in this paper to decrease the
prestress that was transferred to steel girders in the negative moment region of steel …

The group studs arrangement is applied to prefabricated composite beams to significantly
improve construction speed. However, contact vibration exists in the unconstrained interface …

To investigate the flexural behavior of continuous externally prestressed steel–concrete
composite (EPSCC) beams, flexural tests were conducted on two two-span continuous …
