In this research in-plane shear Behavior of composite steel-concrete shear walls was investigated considering the Effects of steel plates thickness, spaces between shear studs, shape and type of shear studs and existing of minimum reinforcement in wall section. Several finite element models were analyzed and Numerical results of two models were taken under verification with existent experimenta...

To provide sustainable reinforced concrete deep beams, the replacement of steel rebars by FRP with high-chemical resistance is proposed researchers. However, effects strength, top and web longitudinal reinforcements, types flexural on non-linear performance beams have rarely been evaluated. This study numerically assessed reinforcements strength behaviour GFRP- CFRP-strengthened various shear s...

The life of a concrete bridge exposed to deicing salt or seawater has often been limited by corrosion of the steel reinforcement. The service life of a concrete structure, degraded by corrosion, is considered to be the sum of the initiation and propagation periods. The initiation phase is the time required for sufficient accumulation of aggressive species at the rebar surface to initiate corros...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to solve the chloride corrosion damage problems rebar in reinforced concrete structures under environment. effects 1.0% triethanolamine (abbreviated as TEA), Ca(NO 2 ) , and 0.5% TEA + composite inhibitor) on electrochemical performance modification mechanism mortar specimens were investigated by combining macro experiment microanalysis. results showed tha...

Strengthening of the existing seismically deficient reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is an important issue in earthquake prone regions. Addition of RC shear wall as infill or external walls into the structural system has been a commonly preferred strengthening technique since the Big Erzincan Earthquake occurred in Turkey, 1992. The newly added rigid infill walls act primarily as shear walls ...

in this study, the effect of cement content on concrete performance in corrosive environments is investigated on concrete mixtures having the same water/cement (w/c) ratio. three w/c ratios (0.40, 0.45 and 0.50) were used and for each w/c ratio three mixtures were prepared with cement contents 350, 400 and 450 kg/m3. the compressive strength, electrical resistivity and chloride diffusivity of t...

Capacity design procedure for the earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete (RC) structures is effective when actual member capacities do not greatly exceed the assumed design capacities. Moreover, RC members are expected to undergo large inelastic deformations for adequate seismic energy dissipation. Since flexural capacity and post-yield behavior of an RC member is largely controlled by steel ...

Micro cracks occurring in concrete around tensile rebar is well known latent damage phenomenon. These micro cracks develop, and can be detected after reaching the surface of the concrete. Detection of these cracks before they are fully formed is preferable, but observing the whole crack structure is difficult. Another problem is repairing micro cracks under the concrete surface. The autogenous ...
