In this study, the authors evaluate the structural performance of the CFFT and the RCFFT through flexural tests for the purpose of applying the members as flexural ones. Moreover, the compressive behavior of the CFFT and the RCFFT members was investigated to examine their confinement effects. Based on the experimental and analytical results of the compressive behavior of the members, equations for estimating the ultimate compressive strengths of the CFFT and the RCFFT were proposed. In addition, the degree of improvement on the flexural performance of the RCFFT member strengthened by the FRP was analyzed from the flexural tests.展开更多

The conducted experimental investigations have shown that beams without web reinforcement may fail without attaining their full flexural capacity and then shear governs their failure. In the paper, there are presented recent results of the author＇s own experiments, which aimed at disclosing some aspects of the propagation of cracks in longitudinally reinforced concrete beams without stirrups. The experimental program has been designed especially to investigate the influence of the shear span-to-depth ratio on diagonal crack propagation and load carrying capacity of tested beams.展开更多
