Abstract Hybrid structures require efficient connections to transfer forces between elements composed of different materials, ensuring the desired structural performance. Among the available solutions ...

Abstract: The bond and friction of the interface between concrete slab and steel beam can affect the shear force values of the shear studs widely-used in steel-concrete composite bridge structures.

This article examined steel frames with shear beam-column connections to determine the effectiveness of different masonry infill walls under progressive collapse. This research concentrated on the ...

The behavior of high-strength, fiber-reinforced concrete (HSFRC) beams under concentrated loads was affected by many different aspects, such as the type of fibers used and the volume percent of the ...

A new experimental study reports that strategically placed 2.5 mm near-surface-mounted steel wires can increase the shear capacity of reinforced concrete deep beams by more than 60 %. Study: Enhancing ...

RC coupling beams have been reported to have had serious damages during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Beams are very difficult to repair once cracks occur. To improve the ductility and reparability of ...
