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 ...

The study approaches the size effect problem from three aspects, culminating in a proposed correction formula that demonstrates high accuracy in predicting the seismic performance of CFRP-reinforced ...

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 ...

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.
