The award encourages and rewards the communication of civil engineering ideas, research and best practice in projects and ...

Abstract The paper presents a rational procedure for evaluating the concrete shear strength in reinforced concrete beams. Previous research has shown that the shear in concrete is resisted by various ...

ACI CODE-318-25: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary is now available in print with updates.

The reinforcement of timber beams using composite materials has emerged as a transformative strategy in modern structural engineering. Researchers have developed innovative methods for enhancing ...

No unsafe shear resistance previsions were obtained, indicating that the current recommendations could be used for the design of reinforced concrete members with unconnected "W" stirrups as shear ...

When using ultra-wideband signaling on massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) systems, the electromagnetic wave incurs an extra delay (across the array elements) comparable to or larger than ...

For the vehicle tracking algorithm, we focus on estimating the rapid changes in the beam direction of a high-mobility vehicle while reducing the feedback overhead. Furthermore, we design a beamforming ...

One typical issue is to develop an accurate beam-column joint model. In current practice, the beam-column joint is as part of the rectangular frame with rigid elements, neglecting the shear damage and ...

In this paper, a comprehensive dynamical analysis of porous-reinforced carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposite beams on viscoelastic foundations is presented. Using a three-unknown shear beam theory, the ...
