Dapped‐end beams, featuring a reduced or notched termination, are widely implemented in reinforced concrete structures, particularly in precast systems where construction efficiency is paramount. The ...

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 ...

A ground beam is a reinforced concrete beam for supporting walls at ground level. Its purpose is to link the piles together and provide a platform for further superstructure construction. A beam is a ...
