Abstract: A number of recent studies have identified and begun to quantify increased susceptibility of the infrastructure to climate change–induced carbonation of reinforced concrete. In this paper, the results of a study are presented ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the specimen size effect on the dynamic response of plain concrete. The report is based upon experimental data by the writers and others and considers results from creep tests on beams, beams under ...

Abstract: As a result of excavation blasting, traffic, sudden ground movements, rock bursts, and seismic activity, shotcrete is often subjected to impact and other dynamic loads. Limited data exist, however, with regard to the ...

Abstract: Corrosion of steel in concrete is a major concern. The use of alternate, noncorrosive reinforcement such as fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) bars and tendons has, therefore, received much attention lately. There is limited ...
