A recent series of dynamic tests demonstrates that there are several types and doses of steel-fiber reinforcement that can be used in performance-based seismic design of coupling beams—headers that ...
The ACI Foundation is pleased to announce the completion of a new research product: Evaluation of Seismic Behavior of Coupling Beams with Various Types of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete. Gustavo J.
SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing, Vol. 1, No. 1 (2009), pp. 849-858 (10 pages) ABSTRACT The research described examines the relationship between damage/repair scenarios and the ...
Surprisingly positive results from the first of four large-scale tests of reinforced-concrete link beams with embedded structural steel sections have further opened the door to more-constructible ...
An engineer's solution for streamlining the construction of skyscrapers is having a skyscraper moment in one of the most seismically active regions of the country. All coupling beams in the 1.5 ...
