Concrete beams reinforced with FRP rebars have greater durability than standard steel elements. The main disadvantage of using is the low ductility elements which may be unacceptable in certain situations. There are several different ways increasing concrete elements, analyzed this paper. They compared based on efficiency, influence and ease construction. Less tested methods given more attentio...

This study presents a study on the ductility performance of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete. The influence of fibre content on the ductility performance of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete specimens having different fibre volume fractions was investigated. The parameters of investigation included modulus of rupture, ultimate load, service load, ultimate and service load deflection, crack width...

Hybrid moment frame come together with reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams (RCS). This Composite system provides several key advantages over current steel or concrete moment resisting frame. Past studies have shown this system to be efficient in both design and building stage while able to keep sufficient strength and necessary ductility in seismic zone.Although past researc...

PARTIAL-MOMENT-CONNECTION TO THE DECK IN MARINE OIL TERMINALS By Rakesh K. Goel, F.ASCE ABSTRACT This paper presents development of a simplified procedure for seismic evaluation of piles with partial-moment-connection typically used in marine oil terminals. The current seismic evaluation procedure of the piles in marine oil terminals includes monitoring material strains specified in the Marine ...

Current formulations proposed by Eurocode 8 part 3 for the inelastic deformations of existing reinforced concrete members are assessed separately wide beams (WB) and conventional deep (DB). The current approach, based on a large experimental database members, predicts larger ultimate chord rotation but lower ductility WB rather than DB despite similar curvature ductility, due to plastic hinge l...
