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

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 ...

Reinforcement Bar Cutoffs and Bend Points It is common practice to cut or bend main reinforcement in beams and slabs where it is no longer required. But tensile steel should never be discontinued ...

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

We further propose a dual-decomposition successive convex approximation algorithm to solve the problem efficiently. Numerical studies demonstrate interesting tradeoff among the key design parameters ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
