Abstract: Lateral loads such as wind and inertial forces from earthquakes are resisted by the bond strength of brick masonry structures. The consideration of uncertainty in both load and resistance capacity is vital for limit state ...

Abstract: The use of copper slag as an alternative to natural fine aggregates in concrete construction has two advantages: effective management of hazardous waste and assistance in conserving natural resources. In order to build ...

Abstract: The estimation of the early age compressive strength of concrete is crucial for quality control in the construction industry. The present study proposes an innovative and cost-effective Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled ...

Abstract: In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to predict the fly-ash brick compressive strength using three easily measurable parameters such as water absorption, initial rate of absorption, and dry density. This model ...

Abstract: Seismic safety assessment of reinforced concrete box girder bridges has received considerable attention as they are increasingly popular in modern highway systems. However, the detailed seismic assessment of box girder ...

Abstract: This work experimentally evaluated compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) under varying strain-rate conditions. A novel artificial technique called multigene genetic ...

Abstract: The disposal of fly ash is an environmental challenge globally, and the only viable solution for its mass disposal is its use in the construction industry, especially for brick production. Hence, the substantial growth in ...

Abstract: Masonry walls resist both in-plane and out-of-plane forces through the bond between the brick unit and mortar. Moisture content or saturation level of the brick unit at the time of construction is one of the key contributing ...
