Innovative use of 2.5 mm steel wires in RC deep beams leads to over 60 % increase in shear strength, providing a viable method for infrastructure enhancement.

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.

In my previous column, I briefly cited the Short Beam Shear (SBS) test method as a much more attractive interlaminar shear test method than the double-notch shear test method. The primary attraction ...
