The flexural capacity of the fixed-end HSPC beams was evaluated based on the virtual work principle under the assumption of rigid joints at the connection of the steel and concrete beams.
The performance of the corroded SCC/NC beams was evaluated based on the results of crack patterns, crack widths, loads at first flexure and first diagonal cracks, mid-span deflection, ultimate load, and failure modes.
The performance of SCC/NC beams was evaluated based on the results of crack pattern, crack widths, loads at the first flexure/diagonal cracking, ultimate shear resistance, and failure modes.
The fresh and mechanical properties of the developed beams' mixtures were measured, and the performance of the tested beams was evaluated based on cracking behaviour, ultimate shear load, post-diagonal cracking resistance, and toughness.
Moreover, the longitudinal orbital torque component, causing the sphere to rotate around the center of the beam is evaluated based on the mathematical decomposition using the gradient, scattering and absorption transverse radiation force vector components.
The lateral resolution and DOF were evaluated based on the depth-resolved point spread function (PSF) obtained by a numerical simulation and beam profiler measurement in an experiment.
Therefore, effective width for deflection calculation of composite beam should be evaluated based on an element, rather than a specific section.
The joint shear demand (V u ) is evaluated based on the beam yield mechanism to check the failure mechanism of the joints.
The nominal lateral load-carrying capacity of the columns (P n ) is evaluated based on the assumption of yielding in beam reinforcement at the connection, as shown in Fig. 21.
