Abstract: To study the residual strength of concrete beams made from a new type of scoria aggregate after being exposed to fire, six concrete beams were tested, including three normal aggregate concrete (NAC) beams and three scoria ...

Abstract: The US Midwest successfully generates wind power at a hub height of 80–90  m and the use of tall towers can reduce the wind energy cost. However, the lack of reliable wind data and production estimates at elevated heights ...

Abstract: To accurately predict the flexural capacity of postfire RC beams is imperative for fire safety design. In this paper, the residual flexural capacity of postfire RC beams is predicted based on a back-propagation (BP) neural ...
