Innovative use of 2.5 mm steel wires in RC deep beams leads to over 60 % increase in shear strength, providing a viable method for infrastructure enhancement.

Structural designers say there is cause for concern but no reason to panic over research that indicates potential for premature failure of flat-plate concrete frames reinforced at slab-column ...

Research shows ECC shells can transform RC beam-column joints, enhancing load capacity and energy dissipation, crucial for ...

A shear test method for composite materials, typically termed Double-Notch Shear, has been in existence for many years and is still used, but not without controversy. It is defined by ASTM ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...
