Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...

To address the limitations of mechanical shear connectors, adhesives are used in this research as shear connectors of steel-concrete composite beams (SCCBs). Several groups of bending tests were ...

Electromechanical and other service ducts must be vertically carried out through structural components. Most research have examined the strengthening of the transverse opening region in concrete beams ...
