Abstract: This paper presents the latest research findings investigating RC members’ residual load–slip response to combined damage caused by corrosion and fire. The idea is to simulate an accidental fire in old or aging structures ...

Abstract: This study examines the behavior of superductile 550 (SD 550) reinforcing steel bars after exposure to elevated temperatures followed by cooling to ambient conditions. The research provides comprehensive mechanical property ...

Abstract: Full-scale single-room masonry buildings of different typology, i.e., unreinforced (URM), reinforced (RM) and Confined Masonry (CM) were tested under cyclic loading in quasi-static manner to study the seismic performance. ...

Abstract: The writers report an efficient technique for the analysis and design of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) web core decks for highway culverts. This technique is based on finite-element modeling and an iterative optimization ...

Abstract: An efficient failure analysis of laminated composite and sandwich cylindrical shell is done for the first time using an efficient

Abstract: The shear transfer strength (STS) of uncracked concrete at ambient and after elevated temperatures of 350°C, 550°C, and 750°C is investigated. Forty-eight uncracked push-off specimens with different confinement levels were ...
