Over the past few decades, premature deterioration of reinforced concrete structures
exposed to severe environmental actions and mechanical loading has become a serious …

This book describes the application of nonlinear static and dynamic analysis for the design,
maintenance and seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The latest …

Emerging 3D printed concrete techniques has raised numerous possibilities in
contemporary architectural creations that are often beyond the scope of prevailing structural …

A misnomer exists within the literature on the topic of ductility (deformation capacity) in steel
fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) members subjected to flexure. Several studies report that …

This paper discusses the strengthening of opening in R/C beams by FRP rods. A total
number of thirteen beams with circular and square opening have been tested. The opening …

Postyield steel–concrete bond has been the subject of considerable investigations using
pull-out or direct tensile tests; however, the degradation in bond due to reinforcement …

Numerical simulation of the bond is a powerful and versatile tool to analyze different aspects
of reinforcement and concrete interaction, such as the formation of internal cracks, damage …

Parts of reinforcing steel bar (rebar) used in concrete are subjected to high levels of plastic
strain due to various operations during construction. This work presents the corrosion …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) is free from corrosion problem and is a viable alternative
reinforcement material for concrete structures in lieu of steel reinforcing bars. Since FRP has …

This paper presents the verification of analytical modeling for reinforced Engineered
Cementitious Composite (R/ECC) in the context of a smeared, fixed crack approach …
