This paper examines the cracking behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer. The crack opening of RC structures is a key parameter for the durability of concrete structures. It is of vital importance...

Because researchers are aiming to restore the deformation and minimize the crack width of existing concrete structures, the strengthening technology of prestressed carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is currently the focus of many studies and applicat...

Fiber-reinforced concrete is widely acknowledged for its ability to resist cracking effectively and limit its propagation. By preventing cracks from spreading, the addition of fiber composites to concrete can enhance its extensibility and tensile strengt...

In this study, an analytical approach is introduced for predicting the bending behavior of a timber?concrete composite (TCC) beam subjected to a mechanical load and a non-uniform temperature field, in which the orthotropy of timber as well as interfacial...

Beech (Fagus Sylvatica L.) is a prevalent tree species in Slovenia and is suitable for manufacturing glulam beams. However, beech wood has certain limitations that can potentially be mitigated by combining it with Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) ...

Modular steel buildings show high assembly degree and fast installation speed. The inter-module connection (IMC) is one of the key technologies that restrict the robustness of modular steel buildings. An innovative IMC with a cross-shaped plug-in connect...

Nodal rotations are produced by bending and shear effects and bending rotations can be easily calculated using Euler?Bernoulli?s stiffness matrix method. Nevertheless, shear rotations are traditionally neglected, as their effects are practically negligib...

This work addresses the dynamic modeling of a negative stiffness absorber consisting of an assembly of curved beams. Design rules are derived from the orders of magnitude of stiffness and elastic energy stored by the negative stiffness elements. Although...
