Abstract: A methodology that permits an assessment of the reliability of concrete frames, which may have been damaged in previous earthquakes, is presented. Using Monte Carlo simulation, damage probability matrices are constructed ...

Abstract: A theory for an enhanced mathematical model of R/C frame members is presented and its accuracy is verified by simulating various laboratory experiments for which data were available in the literature. New member and global ...

Abstract: Using waste glass as an aggregate in concrete can cause severe damage because of the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) between the alkali in the cement paste and the silica in the glass. Recent accelerated 2-week tests, conducted ...
