The article illustrates the possibilities of the practical application of the ZI method [1 and 2] when calculating the strength of reinforced concrete beams. The article presents variants of description of the EN-2 regulation curvilinear  diagram for concrete with reliability of 50 % by the ZI method with reliability of 50 %, 95 % and ~100 %. The article demonstrates how, when calculating the strength of normally and abundantly reinforced concrete beams by the ZI method, it is possible to do without the calculation of the limit value of the thickness of the concrete layer of the beam compression zone. This is important in the case of the calculation of the strength of abundantly reinforced beams. The method for calculating the strength of abundantly reinforced beams has been improved. When calculating strength, we also obtain actual values of stress-strain parameters at the crack. The tables provide data supporting the proposed innovations and facilitating calculations.

Steel corrosion is considered as the main factor for the insufficient durability of concrete structures, especially in the marine environment. In this paper, to further inhibit steel corrosion in a high chloride environment and take advantage of the dual-functional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), the impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) technique was applied to the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam with internally embedded CFRP bars and steel fiber reinforced polymer composite bar (SFCB) as the anode material while the steel bar was compelled to the cathode. The effect of the new ICCP system on the flexural performance of the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam subjected to corrosion was verified experimentally. First, the electricity-accelerated precorrosion test was performed for the steel bar in the hybrid-reinforced beams with a target corrosion ratio of 5%. Then, the dry–wet cycles corrosion was conducted and the ICCP system was activated simultaneously for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam for 180 days. Finally, the three-point bending experiment was carried out for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beams. The steel bars were taken out from the concrete to quantitatively measure the corrosion ratio after flexural tests. Results showed that the further corrosion of steel bars could be inhibited effectively by the ICCP treatment with the CFRP bar and the SFCB as the anode. Additionally, the ICCP system showed an obvious effect on the flexural behavior of the hybrid-reinforced concrete beams: The crack load and ultimate load, as well as the stiffness, were enhanced notably compared with the beam without ICCP treatment. Compared with the SFCB anode, the ICCP system with the CFRP bar as the anode material was more effective for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam to prevent the steel corrosion.

For reinforced concrete beams strengthened with prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates, design methods are derived for determining the allowable plate area or initial tension control stress of CFRP plate to achieve a targeted value of ductility. The derivation of equilibrium and compatibility equations for a rectangular cross section is presented. Base on the test of 2 reinforced concrete beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP plates, analytical results are compared with experimental results. Comparisons show that the design methods have good applicability. It can provide a reference for engineering application of strengthening design.

This paper describes a design method for structures consisting of a vertically loaded masonry wall supported by a reinforced concrete beam, taking account of the composite tied-arch action of the wall and beam. Experimental results have shown that the behaviour of walls on reinforced concrete beams is similar enough to that of walls on steel beams to allow the development of a design procedure for the former using similar principles to that for walls on steel beams. Therefore, the design approach is based on the assumption of triangular distributions of vertical stress at the wall–beam interface, where the length of the distributions are a function of the beam-to-wall relative stiffness. In the design method the beam flexural stiffness is designed to give an adequate distribution of the interface stress so that the maximum stress in the wall does not exceed allowable limits. The beam is also designed with flexural and shear reinforcement sufficient to resist the bending moment, tie force, and shear forces applied by the normal and shear interface loading. Experimental evidence as well as analytical results are cited to support the assumptions and the resulting design method.

This research is aimed to study the possibility of recycled the PET wastes by forming the PET wastes as plastic semi-bars and used it as tension bars in simply supported reinforced concrete beams . Twelve beams specimens with dimension of (150*200*1400) mm are casted and tested to monitoring the effecting of these wastes as tension bars on the strengths and serviceability of reinforced concrete beams. The mechanical properties (compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strength) are evaluated in which specimens tested in age of 28 days. The tests results showed that all presented plastic semi-bars are failed except one case in which the deformed steel bar are used with additional layer of PET bottle cut into two parts which showed an increment in ultimate failure load and deflection of  3.03 % and 213.83 % respectively, larger than the reference beam specimens. Negatively effect of PET semi-bar on ultimate load of beams is due to bonding failure between PET bars and surrounding concrete, which made the PET bars as voids or weak region within beam cross section.

Abstract In this article, results of experimental testing of reinforced concrete beams without transverse shear reinforcement are given. Three prototypes for improved testing methods were tested. The testing variable parameter was the shear span to the effective depth ratio. In the result of the tests we noticed that bearing capacity of RC beams is increased with the decreasing shear span to the effective depth ratio. The design method according to current codes was applied to test samples and it showed a significant discrepancy results. Than we proposed the improved design method using the adjusted value of shear strength of concrete CRd,c. The results obtained by the improved design method showed satisfactory reproducibility.
