NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF EXPANSION ANCHORS RESPONSE TO PULL-OUT AND SHEAR LOADS
… in higher ultimate capacities and a more ductile behaviour. No interaction between anchors was observed for spacing ≥ 1.67 times anchor’s embedment depth. The anchor shear capacity was found to be dominated by the steel failure mode.

Automated Design of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams
… structures. Deep beam were chosen because their behaviour encompasses all the difficulties associated with modelling reinforced concrete structures under a state of generalised stress, and also for their ease of manufacture and testing. The rationale for the method was that the steel bars …

Properties and processing of direct-spun carbon nanotube mats
… acid immersion nanotubes separate, resulting in ductile behaviour. A tensile drawing process based upon solutions of chlorosulfonic acid and chloroform is capable of enhancing the modulus and strength of direct-spun mat samples; the properties of the drawn mats are investigated as a function of …

Behaviour of continuous concrete T-beams reinforced with hybrid FRP/Steel bars
This work aims to investigate the flexural behaviour of continuous hybrid reinforced concrete T-beams (HRCT). The investigations consist of three parts; the computational part, the experimental part and the finite element analysis. The computational part included two parts, the first one is …

Self compacting concrete containing polypropylene fibre and its behaviour as wall panel under cyclic load
… polypropylene fibre, PPF, and the structural behaviour of precast SCC panel, PSCC, with added PPF subjected to lateral cyclic load. The PSCC panel with dimensions of 2000 mm height, 1000 mm width, and 150 mm thick was tested under lateral cyclic load to study its structural behaviour according …

Development of Innovative Hybrid Steel-Free Multi-Girder Bridge Deck System
… ultimate load condition confirmed global pseudo-ductile behaviour in the system with good load transfer provided by the composite action systems. The governing areas of potential failure included cracking in the UHCP slab, tensile failure in the CFRP sheet and GFRP bottom flange, compressive …

Use of end-of-waste foamed fibers and aggregates into a cementitious mortar
… and mechanical properties decreased, but a more ductile behaviour was recognizable. Thermal conductivity and water vapor resistance were proportional to mortars density which obviously decreased at increasing natural sand substitutions. Moreover, the use of aggregates porosity as reservoir of …

Axial compressive behaviour of FRP-confined high-strength concrete
… improvements on the axial compressive behaviour of these columns. This application of FRP composites is effective as a confinement material for concrete, in both the seismic retrofit of existing reinforced concrete columns and in the construction of concrete-filled FRP tubes (CFFTs) as …

Investigation of the Pre to Post Peak Strength State and Behaviour of Confined Rock Masses Using Mine Induced Microseismicity
… the transition of the rock mass and its behaviour into the post-peak and this research investigates this behaviour in detail. As the rock mass progressively fails, fractures are initiated through intact rock and extension and shear failure of these and pre-existing features occurs. …
