There is a common phenomenon of shear failure in RCC beams, especially in old buildings and bridges. Any possible strengthening of such beams is needed to be explored that could strengthen and make them fit for serviceable conditions. The present research has been made to determine the performance of predamaged beams strengthened with three-layered wire mesh polymer-modified ferrocement (PMF) with 15% styrene-butadiene-rubber latex (SBR) polymer. Forty-eight shear-designed and shear-deficient real-size beams were used in this experimental work. Ultimate shear load-carrying capacity of control beams was found at two different shear-span (a/d) ratios 1 and 3. The sets of remaining beams were loaded with different predetermined damage levels of 45%, 75%, and 95% of the ultimate load values and then strengthened with 20 mm thick PMF. The strengthened beams were then again tested for ultimate load-carrying capacity by conducting the shear load test at a/d = 1 and 3. As a result, the PMF-strengthened beams showed restoration and enhancement of ultimate shear load-carrying capacity by 5.90% to 12.03%. The ductility of strengthened beams was improved, and hence, the corresponding deflections were prolonged. On the other hand, the cracking pattern of PMF-strengthened beams was also improved remarkably.

The load-carrying capacity of a K-type joint inside a floor truss is studied both experimentally and numerically. The joint tested is a scaled-down, isolated joint. The tubular braces, plate chord, and division plate are made of SSAB Domex steel. Comparison of load displacement curves received by finite element analyses with curves obtained from tests confirms that numerical models describe joint behaviour reasonable. The paper demonstrates that joints with high load-bearing capacity can be investigated experimentally by scaling the dimensions of the joint down when testing devices can affect the required capacity of the joint. The results presented can also be used for optimizing failure mechanism of similar joints in practice.


Glass fibre reinforcement polymers (GFRP) application for reinforcement of wood, concrete and steel member is relatively becoming more variety in construction applications. Although it is possible to build large monolithic structures with composite materials, there are still several reasons for the structure to fail. One of the main reasons that contribute to this failure is the connection performance due to its function in carrying load across the structure. Thus having the right fundamental data for connection design purposes according to the specific and technological upgraded materials is very important. One of the basic methodologies in gaining the design data is through experimental double shear test which can be verified by European Yield Model (EYM) theory. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the load carrying capacity of double shear strength behaviour connections made of Kempas timber species as the main member and dowelled by the GFRP or the Kempas rod. The specimens were tested under the shear load with 2mm/min rate and tested until failure. From the experiment, it was found that the average ultimate shear strength of member dowelled with GFRP rod is 21.36% higher compared to one doweled with Kempas rod. According to mode of failure between two types of bolt, GFRP dowelled performs well (Mode I& IV) rather than Kempas dowelled (Mode IV).

Taking a flyover as the background, this paper compares two reinforcement scheme, and ultimately chooses the paste carbon fiber polymer method to reinforce the bridge. It calculates and analyzes the structure before and after the reinforcement, then compares the stress state , shear load-carrying capacity and flexural capacity. At last ,it evaluates the effect of the paste carbon fiber polymer method and puts forward some suggestions.

This paper is the first to present the results of a numerical comparison between the performances of two newly developed concrete columns namely: multi-tied spiral transverse reinforced (MTSTR) column and concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column under eccentric compressive loads. The behavior of MTSTR columns under eccentric loads has not been studied until today and also this behavior is not compared to that of the CFST columns. The numerical models of these columns were constructed using the nonlinear finite element method and validated against the previously published experimental data in the literature. Concrete damage plasticity model and elastic-perfect plastic model were used to simulate the behavior of concrete core and steel of the columns, respectively. This provides the capability of modeling of the nonlinear large deformations of the columns. The obtained results show that the MTSTR columns can provide greater load carrying capacity, ductility, and energy absorption with slightly lower initial stiffness than the CFST columns under the same eccentricities. For instance, the load-carrying capacity of MTSTR column is 18 percent greater than that of the CFST column when the load eccentricity is 100 mm. In case of 100 mm eccentricity, the ductility of the improved version of the MTSTR column proposed in this study is 30 percent greater than CFST one.
