Effect Of Interface Treatment On The Cracking Behaviour Of Hybrid SHCC (Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite) Concrete Beams

Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) is applied on the tension side of a flexural member in order to improve crack-width control of reinforced concrete and its effectiveness is investigated for varying treatment of the interface between SHCC and concrete. A four-point bending test configuration is used and the interface is varied...

Structural System Influence On Shear Capacity Of Wide Members Without Shear Reinforcement

Most models of shear strength used to estimate the shear capacity of wide reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement do not take into account the structural system or the support conditions. However, some experimental results indicate that bending moment can have a positive influence on members with predominant flexural action,...
