A beam must have a ductile behavior to be able of supporting large deformations beyond its maximum load capacity. To ensure this behavior, a special attention should be given to construction requirements such as the rate ...

Concrete structures are often exposed to aggressive environments because of the air pollution to which they are exposed or that of the land on which they are built. Such pollution can be natural, such as construction on ...

This experimental campaign was carried out with the aim of studying the bending behavior of beams designed with a SFSCC. Before proceeding to the main part of the research program, a comparative study was carried out in ...

In this work, the effects of crack depth and crack location on the free and forced vibrations of cracked beam structures were investigated analytically by extending the Rayleigh method. The theory of Euler-Bernoulli beams ...

Multiple research have made the use of composite materials based on Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP ) in several forms ( sheets , laminated or stem) , a way of strengthening and repair external reinforced concrete structures ...

The plastic analysis of structures is easy and straightforward for simple structures, the complete study could be done manually. Once the structure is more than one span and one level, the problem gets worse and the ...
