The GCS Centre for Structural Safety and Resilience (CSSR) is proud to announce its Monthly Student Presentation event. Please find below the details of this month's Research Students' Presentation ...

4. Pouring concrete for grade beam Grade beam can be casted with ready mix concrete or on-site machine-mixed concrete. The former is desired if the concrete volume is large. If ready mix concrete is ...

The kind, arrangement, composition, and strengthening method of the fibres in FRP composites in reinforced concrete beams regulate their total strength. Shear deficient specimens were strengthened by ...

Damage to the concrete columns was repaired by removing the loose concrete and, where possible, replacing some of the lateral tie reinforcement. Once the columns were patched using a traditional ...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the manner of failures of the tested beams and to identify a limiting a/d for effective beam depth. Shear failure was observed in high-strength concrete (HSRC) ...

2.2 Description and preparation of beam specimens Five hybrid-polypropylene-steel-fiber-reinforced-high-strength-concrete (HFRHSC) beams and one control high-strength reinforced concrete beam are ...

Meier U. [2] highlights that the steel rebars fail before the FRP post-strengthening, as can be seen in Figure [01] that shows the steel rebars of a post-strengthened concrete beam after a fatigue ...
