High-strength steel beams are known to have less plastic rotation capacity than beams with lower yield strengths. This has been related to the decreased strain-hardening ability of high-strength steels, and various rules and standards for steel structures stipulate maximum limits on the allowable yield-to-tensile strength ratio ((Formula...

In this study, the tensile and bending properties of silk fibre composites using three (0, 90) woven fabrics with different architectures are investigated. The tensile results show that the silk composites can achieve high strain to failure (more than 20%) and toughness (up to 13 MJ/m3), which can be further manipulated based on the architecture...

Application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete beams may cause large deflection and crack width, as well as low shear capacity and ductility due to relatively small stiffness of FRP materials. To avoid these unfavorable factors and evaluate the shear behavior of FRP-reinforced structural members, a high-performance...

Almost 3500 years ago, Egyptians used straw to reinforce mud blocks for construction purposes. Later on, concrete and metals were introduced and the interest for NFC was reduced. In 1900 asbestos fibres were introduced to produce light weight and durable elements; however in 1970 it was discovered that asbestos is unhealthy. Therefore, in 20th...

In order to turn a brittle cement matrix into a ductile composite different types of man-made fibres such as steel, glass and polyvinyl alcohol are currently used as reinforcement, as well as some natural fibres. Compared to synthetic fibres, natural fibres are more easily available worldwide and they are friendlier to the environment since less...

The design of joints to European standard EN 1993 within the semi-continuous/partially restrained philosophy is restricted to steel grades up to S460. With the recent development of high performance steels, the need for these restrictions should be revisited. The semicontinuous joint modelling can be adopted as long as the joint develops...
