Reinforced concrete (RC) Pile cap, a thick reinforced block, is constructed to provide connection between structure and multiple single piles. In the existing design methods, behavior of RC pile cap usually considered as rigid body resulting forces or reactions on piles are assumed equal. However, in actual conditions, there possibility bending un-equal This study represents detailed finite ele...

The numerical study has been conducted to investigate the behaviour of spun pile – cap connection based on common practice in Indonesia. piles manufactured Indonesia have low confinement where amount transverse reinforcement is less than 20% minimum requirement set by ACI 318-19. research objectives are parameters that affect connection. Three investigated are: details, effect concrete infill a...

this paper presents the results of analytical studies concerning the flexuralstrengthening of reinforced concrete beams by external bonding of high-strength lightweightcarbon fiber reinforced plastic (cfrp) plates to tension face of the beam. three groups of beamswere tested analytically and compared with existing experimental results. results of the numericalanalyses showed that, although addi...

ABSTRUCT: Recently, in the attention in response to global warming issues and sustainable society, the manufacturing using natural materials has become actively. Bamboo, low cost, fast growing, and broad distribution of growth, is expected to contribute significantly to earthquake-resistant construction and seismic retrofit technology in the developing countries. The authors also have been stud...

Abstract: A new reinforced SFRFLC (abbr. steel fiber reinforced full-lightweight concrete) superposed beam was proposed to sufficiently utilize the good peculiarities of ordinary concrete in compression and SFRFLC in tension, and reduce its self-weight. Experimental study was carried out on the flexural behaviors of reinforced SFRFLC superposed beams compared with reinforced concrete beams and ...

In the present study, a new method for retrofitting reinforced concrete beam is introduced in which steel-concrete composite jackets containing steel fiber is used. For this purpose, 75% of the peripheral surface of reinforced concrete beams was initially reinforced using steel plates and bolts, and steel fiber reinforced concrete was used between the steel plates and the peripheral surfaces of...

buildings with wall or frame-wall systems are more effective against earthquake forces and sustain less damage than buildings which their lateral resistance is solely depends on frames. four reinforced concrete (rc) structural wall specimens were subjected to cyclic loading using finite elements method with abaqus software in order to study influence of diagonal web reinforcement. the research ...

Short banana fiber reinforced composites have been prepared in laboratory to determine mechanical properties. It has been observed that as soon as the percentage of the banana fiber increases slightly there is a tremendous increase in ultimate tensile strength, % of strain and young modulus of elasticity. Reinforcement of banana fibers in epoxy resin increases stiffness and decreases damping pr...
