Dapped‐end beams, featuring a reduced or notched termination, are widely implemented in reinforced concrete structures, particularly in precast systems where construction efficiency is paramount. The ...
Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 7, No. 1 (January to June 2013), pp. 164-175 (12 pages) Abstract: Rehabilitation and strengthening of old structures using advanced materials is a ...
A new study shows that reinforced concrete beams built with U-shaped engineered cementitious composite (ECC) and hybrid steel–GFRP reinforcement offer significantly better ductility and deflection ...
According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...
