The initial moisture condition of recycled concrete aggregates has a great influence on the fresh and hardened state of concrete. Water compensation is generally proposed with the aim of avoiding changes in the effective...

Abstract To ensure the prefabrication quality of concrete segmental beams for assembled railway bridges, this study investigates the main factors affecting the casting and curing of such beams. Using the Zheng-Xu regiona...

Many structures are subjected to impact and diverse alternatives to measure the concrete performance under these loads have been developed. In this paper a test procedure for evaluating the contribution of different type...

Abstract This work developed an enhanced model to examine the High-Strength Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (HSFRC) that is replaced with 10% metakaolin as a sustainable cement replacement and four types of fibers at different...

In the seismic design of reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame (RC MRF) structures equipped with steel damper columns (SDCs), design criteria should consider both peak responses (e.g., story drift) and cumulative re...

Introduction. The fractional composition of the stone filler in asphalt concrete mixtures and the preparation modes of the binder in the "bitumen – mineral powder" system have a significant impact on the performance ...

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete deep beams at elevated temperature. Twelve reinforced concrete deep beams were cast and tested. The beams were tested u...

This article considers the influence of local one-sided damage on the stress-strain state of a reinforced concrete beam. The research is aimed at analyzing changes in load-bearing capacity, deformations, and potential fa...

Abstract This study investigates the compressive behavior and analytical modeling of natural and rubberized concretes confined with cost-effective glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) jackets. Forty-two cylindrical spec...

Subsea cables are critical infrastructure that are susceptible to damage from anchor drops, necessitating robust protection systems. This study evaluated the crashworthiness of a duct-type reinforced concrete protection ...

A simple and robust nonlinear dilatation constitutive model with clear mechanics concept is introduced, and the stiffness coefficient matrix of constitutive relationship is presented. A kind of coarsed-grained soil is co...

The present study focuses on proposing various statistical models, such as linear regression (LR), nonlinear regression (NLR), and artificial neural network (ANN), to forecast the compressive strength of environmentally ...

A crucial objective for mitigating the global environmental footprint of the construction sector is the imperative to develop sustainable and ecological concrete alternatives. This investigation presents a novel strategy...

The appearance of cracks in reinforced concrete structures accelerates the penetration of aggressive substances such as chloride ions into the concrete matrix. This leads to durability problems due to the accelerated ons...

This work describes the effect of biochar (BC) and lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) on the engineering properties (compressive strength, density, porosity, water permeability and sound absorption), CO2 emission...

It is common to use Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks in the construction of partition walls and infills because of their distinctive properties, including ease of work, energy conservation, and enhanced sustainab...

Transverse reinforcement with welded meshes is used in areas of significant compressive forces, usually in local places, where it is necessary to increase the strength of concrete in axial compression. In a calculated wa...

This investigation is a first step in the development of a simple sensor to be embedded in concrete structures to measure the corrosion rate of reinforcement steel (rebars) based on the principle of galvanic couple. To t...

Introduction. Polymer fiber is widely used in the production of structural concrete components, in shotcrete for tunnels, concrete slabs, blast-resistant concrete, and solid road pavements. Recently, numerous studies h...

Abstract Accurate prediction of compressive strength is important for the efficient design of sustainable concrete incorporating palm oil fuel ash (POFA). This study developed a hybrid artificial neural network model opt...
