of Earthquake Engineering, results of blind prediction contests of shake table tests document the inability of state-of-the-art models to predict the dynamic response of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures with
Carbon nanotube (CNT) was incorporated to overcome this disadvantage and achieve high-strength in LWC. The structural response of CNT reinforced high-strength lightweight concrete (HSLC) beams was investigated considering specimen size, tensile reinforcement ratio, and stirrup spacing. As the tensile ...
The main purpose of this work was to develop a computational model of reinforced concrete bar elements, which can be used to study the behavior of an element going from purely elastic to elastic-plastic and then to stress the softening and failure of the cross-section. To obtain a solution,...
1. Introduction The idea of using non-linear analysis in reinforced concrete structures to promote efficient and economic structural design is not new [1,2], but the restrictions of structural code guidelines [3] prevented the widespread use of non-linear analysis [4]. Although the use of ...
The test specimen showed a good response to cyclic load reversals. Keywords: cyclic behavior; RCS joint; through column type; seismic 1. Introduction The reinforced concrete column and steel beam (RCS) frames consist of reinforced concrete (RC) columns and steel (S) beams. This type of ...
Keywords: high-strength reinforcement; concrete beam; crack width; calculation model 1. Introduction At present, the strength of steel reinforcement used in prestressed concrete structures in China generally ranges from 300 MPa to 500 MPa [1]. Among them, HPB300- and HRB400- grade reinforcements ...
