In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...

One of the major challenges confronting the civil engineering community today is extending the service life of degraded steel structures. Replacement of degraded structures is often not feasible, and ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...

This study investigates the effectiveness of near-surface mounted wire (NSMW) reinforcement as a shear-strengthening technique for reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams. Eleven specimens, including a ...
