Abstract: The effects of pore structure of concrete made with slag-blended cement on shrinkage behavior of concrete when exposed to drying were presented in this paper. The investigated parameters were the length of curing (1-day ...

Abstract: Several models have been presented in the literature for reinforced concrete (RC) beam elements with finite-length hinges to facilitate analyses of the inelastic response of reinforced-concrete frame structures. Such models ...

Abstract: Graphene oxide (GO) is a newly invented material with extraordinary properties. This paper presents the effect of graphene oxide addition on freeze–thaw resistance in hardened cement. GO is incorporated in the cementitious ...

Abstract: The axial-stress–axial-strain and axial-stress–lateral-strain behavior of concrete under active lateral confinement is presented. The uniaxial strengths investigated are 41.9 MPa, 60.6 MPa, 73.1 MPa, and 103.3 MPa. The ...

Abstract: The paper presents a constitutive model developed for high strength concrete with uniform lateral confinement subjected to cyclic axial compression. It is based on the testing program carried out for normal and high strength ...

Abstract: High strength concrete (HSC) with highly desirable structural properties can lead to significant cost savings in heavily loaded lower story columns of concrete structures. Its use has however, been limited by a concern ...

Abstract: Pavement roughness is a common measure of pavement distress and one regularly measured by road authorities. While permanent pavement deterioration that equates to increased roughness is commonly modeled, cyclical or seasonal ...
