Study the ductility of lap joints in reinforced concrete beams to propose a more sustainable design

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This research seeks to improve the sustainability of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures by investigating the implementation of shorter lap lengths to decrease steel usage in concrete constructions thereby reducing CO2 emissions. thorough examination incorporating both experimental and numerical methods was performed to evaluate the effects of rebar lap joints on the strength and ductility of beams. The author has noted a deficiency in experimental research aimed at establishing the minimum lap length required for rebar rotation to occur before the formation of a plastic hinge in reinforced concrete beams. A hydraulic actuator was utilized in . . .
