Behavior and strength of hidden Rc beams embedded in slabs
Ozbek, Eray; Aykac, Bengi; Bocek, Meryem; Yilmaz, Mahmut Cem; Mohammed, A. B. Khadeeja; Er, Sule Bakirci; Aykac, Sabahattin (ELSEVIER, 2020)Reinforced concrete (RC) beams protrude from the ceiling, unless there is an infill wall beneath. Sometimes the construction of these beams is avoided due to aesthetic concerns, and instead a reinforcement arrangement with ... -
Behavior of Postfabricated RC Beams under Monotonic Transverse Loading
Aykac, Sabahattin; Jamal, Rohullah; Ozbek, Eray; Kalkan, Ilker; Aykac, Bengi (Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2019)Postfabricated beams, that is, newly constructed beams in an existing structural system, provide an effective remedial solution to the serviceability and strength problems in an existing floor system and the discontinuities ... -
Discussion on "Seismic capacity of masonry infilled RC frame strengthening with expanded metal ferrocement" by A. Leeanansaksiri, P. Panyakapo, A. Ruangrassamee [Eng. Struct. 159 (2018) 110-127]
Aykac, Sabahattin; Ozbek, Eray; Kalkan, Ilker; Aykac, Bengi (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018)A discussion on the paper by Leeanansaksiri et al. (2018) is presented. In the paper, strengthening of the masonry infill walls using ferrocement reinforced with standard expanded steel plates (EMS) was investigated ... -
Flexural Behavior and Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Multiple Transverse Openings
Aykac, Bengi; Aykac, Sabahattin; Kalkan, Ilker; Dundar, Berk; Can, Husnu (Amer Concrete Inst, 2014)Reported are the results of experiments on 10 rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) beams with and without multiple web openings. The effects of opening geometry, the-use of longitudinal stirrups in the posts between the ... -
Flexural behavior of RC beams with regular square or circular web openings
Aykac, Bengi; Kalkan, Ilker; Aykac, Sabahattin; Egriboz, Yusuf Emre (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2013)This paper presents a study aimed at investigating the influence of multiple web openings along the length of an RC beam on its flexural behavior. A total of nine rectangular beams were tested. Diagonal reinforcement around ... -
Recommendations for calculation of strengthened brick walls with perforated plates
Ozbek, Eray; Aykac, Bengi; Can, Husnu; Kalkan, Ilker; Aykac, Sabahattin (Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2019)There are many studies relating to the strengthening of infill brick walls, which contribute partially to the resistance against the seismic forces, by using different methods and materials to make them behave similarly ... -
Strengthening and Repair of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using External Steel Plates
Aykac, Sabahattin; Kalkan, Ilker; Aykac, Bengi; Karahan, Servet; Kayar, Sinan (Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2013)The study presents the results of an experimental program aimed at investigating the flexural behavior of externally plated RC beams. A total of 13 full-scale rectangular RC beams were tested. The effects on the behavior ... -
Strengthening of RC T-beams with perforated steel plates
Aykac, Sabahattin; Kalkan, Ilker; Aykac, Bengi; Ozbek, Eray (Ice Publishing, 2013)The study investigates the flexural behaviour and ductilities of reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams strengthened with perforated steel plates. A total of eight full-scale RC T-beams were tested. Three strengthened beams and ...
