This book presents a systematic approach to the experimental, theoretical, and numerical investigation of reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams strengthened in shear with glass-fibre-reinforced polymers (GFRP) with variation in transverse steel reinforcements. It discusses experiments conducted on simply supported RC T-beams for control beams with and without transverse steel reinforcements and beams strengthened in shear with GFRP sheets and strips in different configurations, orientations, and variation of layers for each type of stirrup spacing. The book also includes a detailed numerical study using ANSYS performed in two stages. The first stage consists of selecting and testing relevant materials in the laboratory to establish the physical and mechanical properties of the materials. The second stage then involves testing beams for shear under two-point static loading systems. The test results demonstrate the advantage of using an externally applied, epoxy-bonded GFRP sheets and stripsto increase the shear capacity of the beams. The finite element method (FEM) analysis results verify the experimental results. The book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and practicing civil engineers alike.

This co-edited book focuses on the state-of-the-art research in transportation in India. Exploring the need for a sustainable transport paradigm in India, this timely book offers solution concepts for mobility and infrastructure challenges faced by local, state, and national transport authorities. The contents provide a holistic understanding of the paradigm, considering several case-studies and study findings from the leading transportation researchers in India. At the same time, it also addresses the pressing transportation related challenges such as road user safety, traffic operation efficiency, economic and social development, non-motorized transport planning, environmental impact mitigation, energy consumption reduction, land-use, equity, freight transport planning, multimodal coordination, access for the diverse range of travellers’ needs, sustainable pavement construction, and emerging vehicle technologies. The existing practices and policies in all the sectors and levels of transport are highlighted in this book with an emphasis on a broader vision for achieving sustainable and inclusive development. The information and data-driven inferences compiled in the book will be useful for practitioners, policymakers, educators, researchers, students, and individual learners.
