• A new analytical approach in modelling of cracking of RC members 

      Kaklauskas, Gintaris; Ramanauskas, Regimantas (International RILEM Conference on Materials, Systems and Structures in Civil Engineering 2016 segment on Service Life of Cement-Based Materials and Structures Vol. 1. Lyngby, Denmark, August 22-24, 2016, 2016)
      Cracking is one of the most complicated phenomena of concrete structures. Multiple theoretical models have been proposed to predict cracking characteristics, but most rely on empiricism. The present paper proposes a simple, ...
    • A new approach to quantification of residual flexural stiffness of reinforced concrete 

      Gribniak, Viktor; Sokolov, Aleksandr; Rimkus, Arvydas (Proceedings of the international conference on Sustainable Materials, Systems and Structures (SMSS 2019). Novel methods for characterization of materials and structures, 20-22 March 2019, Rovinj, Croatia / edited by Ivan Gabrijel, Christian Grosse, Marijan Skazlić, 2019)
      Residual stiffness of reinforced concrete elements is closely related with structural integrity of cracked sections. A plenty of various evaluation procedures, however, does not enable the comparative analysis of different ...
    • A new creep test method for reinforced concrete tension members under constant loading 

      Gudonis, Eugenijus; NG, Pui Lam; Chu, Shao-Hua; Sokolov, Aleksandr (SynerCrete'18: Interdisciplinary Approaches for Cement-based Materials and Structural Concrete: Synergizing Expertise and Bridging Scales of Space and Time, 24-26 October, Funchal, Portugal : conference proceedings / edited by Miguel Azenha, Dirk Schlicke, Farid Benboudjema, Agnieszka Jędrzejewska, 2018)
      This paper reports the experimental study on creep behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) tension members subjected to long-term constant loading. An innovative testing rig was designed and four replicates were fabricated ...
    • Crack analysis of concrete bending members based on reinforcement strain profile between primary cracks 

      Kaklauskas, Gintaris; Sokolov, Aleksandr (Proceedings of the international conference on Sustainable Materials, Systems and Structures (SMSS 2019). Challenges in design and management of structures, 20-22 March 2019, Rovinj, Croatia / edited by Ana Mandić Ivanković, Marija Kušter Marić, Alfred Strauss, Tomislav Kišiček, 2019)
      Cracking models of reinforced concrete (RC) applied in practice heavily rely on empiricism. The models suggested by Eurocode 2 and Model Code are based on the empirically established effective concrete area. The authors ...
    • Experimental investigation on strain distribution in reinforcement of RC specimens 

      Gudonis, Eugenijus; Ramanauskas, Regimantas; Sokolov, Aleksandr (Proceedings of the 2nd International RILEM/COST Conference on Early Age Cracking and Serviceability in Cement-based Materials and Structures (EAC-02), 12-14 September 2017, ULB-VUB, Brussels, Belgium. Vol. 2, 2017)
      A new analytical approach has recently been proposed by the authors for developing mean crack spacing models of RC ties. The approach is based on combining the mean strain and stress-transfer approaches through the equality ...
    • Experimental investigation on strain distribution in reinforcement of RC specimens under tension loading 

      Kaklauskas, Gintaris; Juknys, Mantas; Jakubovskis, Ronaldas; Gudonis, Eugenijus; Ramanauskas, Regimantas; Gribniak, Viktor; Sokolov, Aleksandr (International RILEM Conference on Materials, Systems and Structures in Civil Engineering 2016 segment on Service Life of Cement-Based Materials and Structures Vol. 1. Lyngby, Denmark, August 22-24, 2016, 2016)
      The interaction of reinforcement and the surrounding concrete is fundamental to the understanding of the behaviour of reinforced concrete. There are a number of aspects to this problem which include an understanding of ...
    • Investigation of Deflection of Prestressed Multilayer Beams 

      Čechavičius, Rimantas (Joints in timber structures : proceedings of the International RILEM symposium, Stuttgart, Germany, 12-14 September 2001, 2001)
    • Tension stiffening model for serviceability analysis of steel and FRP reinforced concrete beams 

      Kaklauskas, Gintaris; NG, Pui Lam; Sokolov, Aleksandr (SynerCrete'18: Interdisciplinary Approaches for Cement-based Materials and Structural Concrete: Synergizing Expertise and Bridging Scales of Space and Time, 24-26 October, Funchal, Portugal : conference proceedings / edited by Miguel Azenha, Dirk Schlicke, Farid Benboudjema, Agnieszka Jędrzejewska, 2018)
      An improved tension stiffening model is proposed for short-term deformational analysis of reinforced concrete flexural members. The model has been derived by utilising the direct and inverse analysis techniques with the ...
