[EN] In pretensioned concrete members, the bond between prestressing strands and concrete in the transfer zone is necessary to ensure the two materials can work as a composite material. This study develops a computer program ...

[EN] This paper presents a proposal of test setup and methodology for testing the flexural creep behaviour of pre-cracked Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) specimens, aimed at providing a basis for standardization. The design ...

An experimental investigation to determine the transfer length of a seven-wire prestressing strand in different concretes is presented in this paper. A testing technique based on the analysis of bond behaviour by means ...

[ES] Los elementos estructurales de hormigón pretensado, ya sean con armadura postesa o pretesa, arrojan en la actualidad una notable incertidumbre acerca del estado tensional real que se da en el elemento, consecuencia ...

[EN] Most recent research has revealed that the present methods, in either literature or current standards, for the evaluation of the deformation capacity of reinforced concrete elements in compression and in either monotonic ...

[EN] Headed studs are often used to facilitate composite actions between steel and concrete structures. In steel building structures, reinforced concrete walls are commonly used to ensure composite action to stiffen steel ...

This paper provides a bibliometric analysis of indexed scientific papers on concrete segmental bridges. Two hundred forty-two papers published from 1900 through 2013 were extracted from the Web of Science. The analysis ...

[EN] Pretensioned concrete (PC) is widely used in contemporary construction. Bond of prestressing strand is significant for composite-action between the strand and concrete in the transfer and flexural-bond zones of PC ...

This paper presents an experimental research work to determine both the transmission and the anchorage lengths of seven-wire prestressing steel strands in different concrete mixes. A testing technique based on a bond ...
