... shafts are constructed in the field by excavating long cylindrical holes into the ground, inserting steel cages made up of longitudinal and transverse bars into them, and filling them with concrete, as shown in Fig. 1. They often range in diameter from 0.5 m to 3.0 m or more and can be installed to depths in excess of 100 m. They are commonly used to support high-rise buildings, long-span bridges, and retaining walls, and also to stabilize landslides. Drilled shafts can be an economic solution for a variety of difficult ground conditions because ...

This paper investigated the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams of near surface mounted (NSM) strengthening technique with using steel bar and hybrid steel bar. The effects of NSM reinforcement and load patterns on the flexural behavior and ductility of the RC beams have been studied. A four-point bending test was carried out on five reinfor...

Additional hysteretic experiments for corroded rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) columns with an axial load ratio of 0.27 were implemented. A quasi-static cyclic lateral loading with constant axial force was subjected to tests. Herein, a modified ductility factor model for corroded RC column is developed on the basis of the previous work and add...

This paper investigates the experimental response of composite reinforced concrete with GFRP and steel I-sections under limited cycles of repeated load. The practical work included testing four beams. A reference beam, two composite beams with pultruded GFRP I-sections, and a composite beam with a steel I-beam were subjected to repeated loading. Th...

Tests were conducted on five reinforced concrete T-beams subjected to combined load of bending and torsion. Elastic stress field in conjunction with Nielsen's 2D yield criterion for reinforced concrete subjected to in-plane forces were used in the Direct Design Method for the design of reinforcement. The beam dimensions were: flange width = 600mm,...
