Behavior of ungrouted and unbonded post-tensioned masonry beams and slabs
The paper shows and discusses the results of an experimental program aimed at assessing the flexural behavior of ungrouted and unbonded post-tensioned masonry (UUPTM) elements such a beams or two-way slabs. In this structural ...
Cyclic tensile-compressive tests on thin concrete boundary elements with a single layer of reinforcement prone to out-of-plane instability
The growing need for residential housing in Latin American countries has led to the construction of reinforced concrete buildings with wall thicknesses as low as 8–10 cm. Such walls have typically only a single layer of ...
Stress at ultimate in unbonded tendons for ungrouted post-tensioned masonry beams
Accurate estimation of tendon stress is crucial for calculating the flexural capacity of post-tensioned masonry members. Tendon stresses in bonded elements may be calculated based on strain-compatibility. For unbonded ...
