Abstract: This paper examines a diagnostic model based on the concept of cause-and-effect diagramming and fuzzy pattern recognition, which contributes a new methodology for diagnosing engineering problems. Three examples are presented ...

Abstract: The effects of high temperature on the strength and stress-strain relationship of high strength concrete (HSC) were investigated. Stress-strain curve tests were conducted at various temperatures (20, 100, 200, 400, 600, and

Abstract: Twelve specimens of reinforced concrete slab-column connections were tested to investigate fire resistance of punching shear. Half of the specimens were tested at room temperature to determine punching shear strength. Half ...

Abstract: In this paper, results from fire resistance experiments on five types of reinforced concrete columns are presented. The variables considered in the study include concrete strength [normal-strength concrete (NSC) and ...
