The results of an experimental program on shear-strengthening of flat slabs using Glass
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rods are presented. A total of seven specimens were …

The practical application of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) in structural components has
gained growing interest due to structural advantages such as improved tensile strength …

The article handles potential approaches to design and determination of total load capacity
of foundation slabs and floors. The research is focused on punching shear failure of …

In this paper, for the first time, the binary/ternary hybrid fiber and/or shear stud reinforcement
as a measure was used to improve the punching performance of flat-slab systems by …

This study investigated the behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), aramid fiber-
reinforced polymer (AFRP) bars and steel bolts as post-installed shear reinforcements for …

The punching shear behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) flat slab-concrete-filled steel tube
(CFT) column joints/connections has been diversely investigated in many studies. However …

Punching shear is the most common failure mechanism of slabs that are supported directly
on columns. The slab–column connection is always vulnerable to critical punching shear; …

Punching shear resistance of column footings and foundation slabs varies significantly in
different standards. The reason for this is because standards define differently the position of …

In this paper, enhancing the energy absorption by using slurry infiltrated fibrous concrete
(SIFCON) in flat slab-column connection is studied. Eight specimens of reinforced concrete …

Every year waste in millions tons are accumulated in the globe and much of it is non-
biodegradable in nature, eg waste vehicle tires. In addition, waste recycling is energy …
