Cross ties have been widely used in Steel plate Concrete (SC) structures. It is considered as one of the most effective methods in ensuring the integrity of the SC module when subjected to both flexure and out-of-plane shear. Although there are no specific guidelines for the design of cross ties as shear reinforcement in the current practice, the requirements for reinforced concrete structures specified in ACI 349 has been generally adopted in design. The experimental studies completed at the University of Houston show that a minimum amount of cross ties is required for the SC structures to preserve shear ductility. This amount was found to be greater than the ACI 349 recommendations. In addition, the strength of SC beams could not be predicted by the ACI 349 code. This paper evaluates the applicability of the present shear design methods of reinforced concrete beams to steel plate concrete beams and proposes a set of shear design equations.

The purpose of the study is to experimentally study the joint work of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFB) reinforcement jacket and reinforced concrete beams at all stages of loading to further develop a methodology for calculating this method of reinforcing bending elements. The main results of the study consist in assessing the strength, stiffness, fracture toughness, as well as the nature of fracture with a picture of the development of cracks for the examined 4 samples (two with a jacket of reinforcement, two - control - without reinforcement). It has been established that the use of SFB jacket with a thickness of 45 mm and with a fiber content percentage of 2,5% (at a flow rate of 196 kg/m3) increases the breaking load by 20 %, stiffness from 3,4 to 11 times as it is loaded, crack resistance 2,4-2,8 times. The results are compared with computer modeling in ANSYS PC: the discrepancy in the load of crack formation, fracture and deflection values for full-scale samples and a computer model are within 6,3 %, which indicates the reliability of the numerical results and the possibility of using the proposed computer models in further studies on topic of the article.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the flexural behavior of over-reinforced concrete beam enhancement by bolted-compression steel plate (BCSP) with normal reinforced concrete beams under laboratory experimental condition. Three beams developed with steel plates were tested until they failed in compression compared with one beam without a steel plate. The thicknesses of the steel plates used were 6 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm. The beams were simply supported and loaded monotonically with two-point loads. Load-deflection behaviors of the beams were observed, analyzed, and evaluated in terms of spall-off concrete loading, peak loading, displacement at mid-span, flexural stiffness (service and post-peak), and energy dissipation. The outcome of the experiment shows that the use of a steel plate can improve the failure modes of the beams and also increases the peak load and flexural stiffness. The steel development beams dissipated much higher energies with an increase in plate thicknesses than the conventional beam.

The paper presents the results of the conducted experimental studies on three-point bend testing of over-reinforced concrete beams with incremental cyclic load, up to destruction, using the acoustic emission method. In total 3 RC beams differ from each other in reinforcement type, concrete composition and ultimate load were tested. Special attention is paid to the investigation of the relationship between destructive processes occurring during the testing of reinforced concrete beams and the evolution of acoustic emission data registered during the test. The analysis described in the article makes it possible, on the basis of acoustic emission data, recorded during the tests, to distinguish the stages corresponding to the different technical state of over-reinforced concrete structures.
