FRP rebar: Shear reinforcement and detailing This second column taken from my new book Composites for Construction — Structural Design with FRP Materials (published by John Wiley & Sons Inc., New York ...

The only other lateral support in the design was provided by reinforced concrete walls, called “shear walls,” at the stairwells and elevators, they said. “The shear walls are very small.

Roof Beam Capacities: “Several beams adjacent to the mechanical equipment on the roof do not have code-required strength for flexure, one-way shear, and combined shear and torsion limit states ...

Photo by Gustavo J. Parra-Montesinos Orthogonal layouts of shear stud reinforcing at slab-column connections in flat-plate concrete frames do not perform well, says researcher. Photo by Gustavo J ...

This report investigates the failure mechanisms of shear-critical squat (ratio height to length of less than two) reinforced concrete walls, commonly used in many commercial buildings and nearly all ...

During past two decades, much research has been carried out on shear and flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams using different types of fibre reinforced polymers and adhesives.

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are investigated in this report, for use in retrofit and new design as a lateral force resisting system in building structures.
