Anchorage Strength and Behavior of Headed Bars in Exterior Beam-Column Joints
Sep 01, 2009; ... Thirty exterior beam-column joint specimens without transverse reinforcement were tested to measure anchorage strength with respect to anchorage configuration and embedment length. The anchorage behavior of bars terminated with a head and with a 90-degree hook is investigated and compared with ...
Seismic Behavior of Nonseismically Detailed Interior Beam-Wide Column and Beam-Wall Connections
Sep 01, 2009; ... Six full-scale nonseismically detailed reinforced concrete (RC) interior beam-wide column and beam-wall joints with zero to high axial compression loads were tested to investigate the seismic behavior of the joints. Quasi-static cyclic loading, simulating earthquake actions, was applied. The ...
Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer for Continuity in Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings Vulnerable to Collapse
Sep 01, 2009; ... Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) can provide continuity in reinforced concrete beams and thereby reduce the likelihood of progressive collapse if a supporting column were lost due to extreme loading (blast or impact). Seven half-scale specimens representing two spans of a reinforced ...
Tests on Half-Scale, Two-Story, Two-Bay, Moment-Resisting Hybrid Concrete Frames
Sep 01, 2009; ... The hybrid concrete frames investigated in this paper consisted of composite concrete beams (composite beams) and cast-in-place (CIP) concrete columns. Two, two-story, two-bay, hybrid concrete frames were tested under cyclic and monotonic loading, respectively. Behavior of the specimen was ...
Modeling of Squat Structural Walls Controlled by Shear
Sep 01, 2009; ... Reinforced concrete squat walls are common in low-rise construction and as wall segments formed by window and door openings in perimeter walls. Existing approaches used to model the lateral force versus deformation responses of wall segments typically assume uncoupled axial/flexural and shear ...
