INVESTIGATION OF STRENGTH-ENHANCEMENT MECHANISM AND SIZE EFFECT ON ULTIMATE SHEAR STRENGTH OF STEEL FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE (SFRC) SLENDER BEAMS
(2016-05-10)
This research study consists of two separate phases. In the first phase, an experimental study was conducted to identify the shear-enhancement and failure mechanisms behind the ultimate shear strength of steel fiber-reinforced ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Concrete Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts under Uniformly Distributed Load
(2018-07-18)
This research resulted in the development of a new method for performing displacement control analysis of distributed loads to obtain the ultimate shear strength of structural components. A framework, consisting of several ...
Response of Unsaturated Soils Under Monotonic and Dynamic Loading over Moderate Suction States
(2017-09-27)
The understanding of the mechanical behavior of the unsaturated soils has been significantly enhanced due to the recent advancement of technology and modifications to the conventional testing devices. However, the ...
A NEW DESIGN METHODOLOGY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SQUAT SHEAR WALLS FOR DUCTILE SEISMIC BEHAVIOR AND PREDICTABLE SHEAR STRENGTH
(2019-08-09)
Reinforced concrete (RC) squat walls (with a height-to-length ratio of 2.0 or less) have high strength and stiffness which makes them a popular seismic force-resistant system for buildings and nuclear power plants. However, ...
