Numerical Investigation of the Structural Behavior of Ferrocement-Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Beams with Shear-Zone Openings
Hasanain S. Al Tamemi · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2026
The presence of openings in reinforced concrete (RC) beams significantly compromises their structural performance by inducing stress concentrations at opening corners, reducing stiffness, and increasing deformation. This study investigates the effectiveness of ferrocement — a thi...
