Performance Assessment of Shear-critical Reinforced Concrete Plane Frames
… available programs do not adequately capture shear-related influences, potentially severely overestimating strength and ductility in shear-critical structures. The purpose of this study is to develop and verify an analytical procedure for the nonlinear analysis of frame structures with the aim …

Strengthening of Shear-Critical Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Iron-Based Shape Memory Alloys
… This research study focused on strengthening of shear deficient RC beams and confinement of RC columns due to the brittle failure mechanisms of these members. Investigating such a novel technique relies on experimental testing to better understand the behavior and failure mechanisms. The …

NFEA Modeling of RC Beams Having Exposed Longitudinal Reinforcement: Effects of Debonding on Shear Behavior
… element that provides a description of shear response. The element formulation is derived based on a two-dimensional micro-plane approach, where the material state of stress is defined by a two-dimensional state of strain. The advantages of the proposed model over other methods are …

Modelling the Post-Peak Response of Existing Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures Subjected to Seismic Loading
… stringent seismic codes are often vulnerable to shear or flexure-shear failure followed by axial failure. Thus, such substandard R/C structures are susceptible to vertical collapse, which pertains to the exceedance of vertical resistance of columns and connecting beams and can lead to the whole …
