Shear Behavior of Green Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt FRP Bars and Stirrups.
Published 2020“…It has been found that the green concrete provides high compressive strength compared to the normal concrete with the same workability properties, which increases the shear resistance by the concrete. Finally, minimizing spacing of the stirrups is not preventing occurrence of the crack, however using minimum spacing helps in decreasing the crack width.…”
