NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF EXPANSION ANCHORS RESPONSE TO PULL-OUT AND SHEAR LOADS
… did not affect the ultimate capacity when the concrete tensile strength dominated the response. For cases governed by the expansion mechanism, increasing the anchor diameter resulted in higher ultimate capacities and a more ductile behaviour. No interaction between anchors was observed for …

Study of Internal Strains Developed in Concrete Decks at Early Ages in Steel Continuous Bridges
… identified bridge deck cracking shortly after concrete decks are placed and prior to applying traffic loads. Previous researchers have confirmed improper construction practices and design methods can lead to deck cracking. Currently, many contractors throughout Arkansas are using continuous …

Shear Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Externally Bonded Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plates
… was to investigate the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened in shear by the addition of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP). An experimental programme was devised to investigate the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by the attachment of different …

Time-dependent response of flat plate structures under high sustained load
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures may be exposed to high levels of sustained stresses resulting from errors in construction or design, abnormal loading, and material degradation. Although most RC structures are designed to withstand service level load with a large safety factor, errors may cause …

Fractionated reclaimed asphalt pavement as a coarse aggregate replacement in a ternary blended concrete pavement
… application of the coarse fraction of FRAP in concrete. The concrete mix proportions contained 0, 20, 35, and 50% FRAP replacement levels by weight of the coarse aggregate. Two other by-product materials, ground granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash, were utilized as partial replacements …

ANALYSIS OF BRAZILIAN SPLIT CYLINDER USING THE STATE BASED PERIDYNAMIC LATTICE MODEL
Concrete members deform discontinuously in the form of cracks and fracture. Continuum mechanics, which has dominated the field of solid mechanics over the years, does not handle such discontinuities. A material, as defined by continuum mechanics is that which is continuous and fills the space it …
