This paper deals with the load-carrying capacity calculation of laterally loaded metal dowel type connections according to Eurocode 5. It is based on analytically derived, relatively complicated mathematical relationships, and thus it can... more
This paper presents a mechanical model of the shear resistance based on Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) and its application for the checking of the shear ultimate state of self-stressed elements reinforced with FRP bars. The shear... more
Flat-slab building structures possesses major advantages over traditional slab-beam-column structures because of the free design of space, shorter construction time, architectural –functional and economical aspects. Because of the absence... more
Highway agencies continuously strive to expedite pavement construction and repairs and to evaluate materials and methods to provide long-lasting pavements. As part of this effort, agencies have used precast concrete slabs for more than 10... more
Non-corrosive fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are becoming a desirable replacement to steel bars in reinforcing/prestressing concrete structures. However, the difference between the two materials is not only related to the properties in... more
GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) is non-destructive equipment coming to be accepted in diagnostics of road structures. The paper describes state-of-the-art of a GPR usage in several European countries in this field. Beside basic GPR... more
A finite element model for nonlinear analysis of jointed concrete pavements is presented. The model allows for nonlinear representation of the properties of concrete, both in compression and in tension. It also accounts for the behavior... more
Indonesia is a country with a rich maritime history. The finding of ancient wooden ark in Punjulharjo site, Rembang, Central Java that was ascribed to seventh century A.D., was a proof of the growth of the ancient maritime culture. This... more
Abstract: Traffic in lanes adjacent to a deck that is being widened or reconstructed causes deflections and vibrations in the fresh concrete deck. A study of the effects of these disturbances in concrete decks is reported here. Decks in... more
A finite element model for nonlinear analysis of jointed concrete pavements is presented. The model allows for nonlinear representation of the properties of concrete, both in compression and in tension. It also accounts for the behavior... more
This article presents an experimental study aiming to provide reliable experimental data for the prediction of the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams without stirrups. The shear strength results obtained from the proposed model... more
Reinforced concrete structures are relatively complex to analyze, with nonlinear effects like cracking, crushing, steel yielding, aggregate interlock, dowel effect, concrete-rebar interaction and so on. The concrete damaged plasticity CDP... more
Concrete joint failure is a major distress mode in rigid pavements. Improving the joint performance in concrete pavements could yield substantial savings in terms of reduced maintenance and rehabilitation costs. The newly developed Hinged... more
